AT&T just unveiled a cybersecurity solution that could save you from a lot of trouble

The two companies are teaming up to roll out a fully integrated SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) platform that combines AT&T's secure network infrastructure with Palo Alto Networks' AI-driven security tech. This partnership will help protect sensitive data, apps and users with deep network integration, AI-powered operations and enhanced protection across SaaS and cloud environments.
At the core of the launch is AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks – set to arrive later this year.

Powered by Palo Alto's Prisma Access Browser tech and backed by AT&T's network, it is designed to deliver safe browsing from any device or location, along with deep SASE integration and web threat protection.
