  • Aeris IoT Watchtower™ integrates with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 5G to extend enterprise-grade security to the wireless IoT edge.
  • The solution delivers Layer 7 visibility, DPI, DLP, and zero-trust protection for previously isolated wireless IoT devices.
  • Enterprises gain unified security visibility and policy enforcement through a single pane of glass across IT systems and wireless endpoints.
  • Benefits include proactive threat response, reduced attack surface, faster time-to-market for global IoT initiatives, and support for 5G-enabled applications.
  • Aeris leverages its ecosystem of nearly 30 Tier-1 mobile network operator partners for global connectivity at scale.
  • The integration simplifies deployment, ensures regulatory compliance across markets, and future-proofs infrastructure for mission-critical IoT use cases.

Closing the Wireless IoT Security Gap

Wireless IoT deployments often remain outside traditional enterprise security perimeters, creating visibility gaps and increased risk as organizations scale connected devices. The Aeris-Palo Alto Networks integration brings these devices into the security fabric by combining Aeris’ global connectivity orchestration with Prisma SASE 5G’s advanced threat prevention and zero-trust architecture. This agentless approach applies consistent security policies without requiring device-level agents, enabling real-time monitoring, automated oversight, and precise control throughout the device lifecycle.

The joint solution correlates network and security data to deliver actionable insights, faster root-cause analysis, and proactive threat mitigation—critical for industries such as automotive, utilities, fleet management, logistics, medical devices, and manufacturing.

“Aeris’ new integration with Palo Alto Networks marks a pivotal shift for global enterprises, moving away from the inefficiencies of managing security and wireless connectivity in isolation,” said Jon Connet, Chief Product Officer of Aeris. “This partnership enables organizations to apply best-in-class security uniformly across both IT systems and wireless connected devices, while empowering Aeris’ ecosystem of nearly 30 strategic mobile network operator partners to leverage the global trust and proven track record of one of the world’s largest cybersecurity providers.”

“As the global threat landscape evolves, the wireless edge can no longer remain a siloed environment outside of the enterprise security fabric,” said Anupam Upadhyaya, SVP of Product Management, SASE at Palo Alto Networks. “By integrating Prisma SASE with Aeris, we aim to deliver a unified security architecture that eliminates visibility and security gaps for wireless devices. This enables protection to fuel innovation, allowing our mutual customers to embrace the benefits of AI and 5G with absolute confidence.”

This integration strengthens Aeris’ position as a trusted IoT enabler while aligning with Palo Alto Networks’ leadership in AI-powered cybersecurity. Together, they provide enterprises with a turnkey, interoperable solution to secure digital transformation journeys across wireless and IT domains.
