DALLAS and SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 29, 2026

Key Takeaways:

• AT&T Business and Palo Alto Networks are building on their collaboration to integrate advanced security more deeply into the enterprise network.
• Now generally available, AT&T Dynamic Defense™ with Palo Alto Networks delivers comprehensive, network-integrated threat protection and AI-driven security capabilities.
• Now generally available, AT&T SASE with Palo Alto Networks brings networking and security together into a fully managed solution.

As AI-driven cyber threats outpace traditional defenses, enterprises face the challenge of securing multi-cloud environments and remote teams with traditional security approaches. In response to growing enterprise demand, AT&T Business and Palo Alto Networks today announced an expansion of their collaboration to help enterprises secure increasingly distributed environments by integrating advanced security directly into the network.

The latest phase of this long-standing collaboration brings two managed offerings to market: AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks and AT&T SASE with Palo Alto Networks. Together, the solutions provide deeper network-level protection and end-to-end visibility across enterprise environments.

"Security can no longer be treated as something layered on after the network is built," said Joe Petrocelli, Vice President of Communications Services, AT&T Business. "By combining Palo Alto Networks AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities with AT&T's global network, we're helping customers move toward a security model where protection is coupled directly with their connectivity. The result is greater visibility, reduced complexity, and faster response to emerging threats."

AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks

AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks integrates cloud-delivered security capabilities into AT&T's global network with the interconnection to Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access, helping enterprises gain near real-time, AI-driven threat prevention and comprehensive network visibility across their cloud, SaaS, and AI environments.

Houston-based credit union Wellby Financial is using AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks, enabling the organization to move from a fragmented, tool-based approach to a more unified and scalable security model.

"This is about building a stronger security foundation for our entire organization," said Wes Turner, Chief Technology Officer of Wellby Financial. "With AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks, we now have better insight into what is happening across our environment and greater confidence in how we protect our data and operations."

"In an era where cyber risk directly impacts business performance, security must be an accelerator for business growth," said Simone Gammeri, Chief Partnerships Officer, Palo Alto Networks. "The general availability of our integrated solutions with AT&T Business gives enterprise leaders a clear advantage. Bringing our AI defenses natively into AT&T's network provides enterprises with threat prevention at scale, without compromising network performance or customer experience."

AT&T SASE with Palo Alto Networks

Further helping customers streamline operations without compromising security, AT&T SASE with Palo Alto Networks combines networking and cloud-delivered security into a single, fully managed service. The solution integrates Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE (Prisma SD-WAN and Prisma Access) to deliver a unified SASE with a complete Security Services Edge stack, helping organizations securely connect users, applications, and locations while maintaining performance across distributed environments.

AT&T manages deployment, policy, and ongoing operations, allowing organizations to focus on business priorities while strengthening their security posture.
