T-Mobile US, Inc. and Palo Alto Networks, Inc. introduced 'T-Mobile SASE, with Palo Alto Networks' -- a new managed offering that brings together America's only nationwide 5G Advanced network, T-Mobile's T-SIMsecure with T-Mobile Security Slice and Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SASE 5G. The offering will deliver enhanced protection, performance and simplicity to T-Mobile for Business customers. Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE 5G, the cloud-native Zero Trust security solution, expands T-Mobile's security portfolio enabling organizations to better protect their networks and devices without the need for extra equipment or additional software.

It empowers businesses and government agencies to more securely connect users and devices to private, Software as a Service (SaaS) and internet applications while maintaining strict security policies and visibility. By integrating Palo Alto Networks' SASE capabilities into T-Mobile's network, customer data has increased protection across endpoints. This rapid expansion puts a significant strain on IT teams and increases exposure to risks, particularly when authentication mechanisms are weak or insufficient.

To help customers tackle today's complex security challenges, T-Mobile has teamed up with Palo Alto Networks to leverage the power of its Prisma SASE 5G solution to deliver enhanced protection, performance and simplifying the power of its PrismaS 5G network assets: T-Mobile 5G Advanced -- Developed on the industry's only 5G Standalone architecture with built-in security from the ground up: Includes encryption to protect interfaces, subscriber identities, and network control and user data planes -- even for inter-operator traffic; and supports prevention of downgrade attacks that exploit weaker legacy protocols. T-Mobile T-SIMsecure with security at the hardware level -- SIM-based, clientless authentication using International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI): Offers strong security with SIM-based authentication, simplifying administrative complexity for IT and security teams and enhancing authorization for connected devices, including endpoints that can't support traditional SASE software, such as IoT devices and 5G routers; improves productivity for mobile employees, like field and frontline workers; and allows devices without a T-Mobile SIM to easily download and configure Palo Alto Networks Global Protect and Prisma Access Agent, regardless of provider or Wi-Fi network. T-Mobile Security Slice -- security over the air with a dedicated virtual network segment, enabled by T-Mobile's 5G Standalone network: Delivers improved security with traffic isolation, customization and improved performance, providing speed advantages and less delay compared to Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G non-standalone networks for T-Mobile SASE customers using 5G Standalone-enabled devices.

T-Mobile SASE, with Alto Networks will be available this summer, further expanding T-Mobile's SASE portfolio for the modern 5G connected enterprise.
