## Siemens and Palo Alto Ensure Industrial 5G Security

Siemens and Palo Alto are providing AI-powered cybersecurity solutions for private 5G networks, enabling industrial-grade protection and high-performance real-time production.

Traditional IT security tools can be a major cause of delays that disrupt the synchronization of robotic systems for many manufacturers. The combination of Siemens' deterministic 5G infrastructure and Palo Alto's AI-optimized Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) allows for the creation of an autonomous and design-secure "central nervous system."

### Key Components of the Solution

• Siemens Private 5G Infrastructure: Provides secure wireless connectivity within the factory. It ensures that sensitive data remains within the plant boundaries while guaranteeing the low latency required for mobile assets such as autonomous robots and AGVs.
• SINEC Security Monitor: As a passive "guardian," it monitors real-time network traffic. It detects unauthorized devices or communication anomalies without interrupting production.
• Palo Alto Networks Firewall: Unlike standard firewalls, it is optimized for OT protocol analysis. It performs deep packet inspection to prevent malware and data leaks, while maintaining millisecond-level precision for industrial control.

This solution, compliant with IEC 62443 and NIS2 standards, helps manufacturers comply with increasingly stringent global regulations. Included in the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, this technology proves that a secure factory doesn't have to be slow, enabling a wide range of industries, from pharmaceuticals to automotive, to confidently scale their AI-powered operations.
