OneLayer and Ericsson unveil advanced Zero Touch Zero Trust Network Access solution for mission critical networks
OneLayer, the leader in mission critical private LTE/5G network OT device management and security solutions, has collaborated with Ericsson to introduce an advanced Zero Touch Zero Trust Network Access (ZT-ZTNA) solution for mission critical private networks. The solution offers device onboarding automation at scale and robust zero-trust security for mission critical customers, such as utilities, aiming to support the rapid growth of devices on their private networks, modernize infrastructure, and maximize return on investment.
In today's fast-evolving digital landscape, private wireless networks are vital in driving innovation and growth across industries. Ericsson, a global leader in telecommunications, simplifies the deployment of mission critical networks. The ZT-ZTNA solution answers the industry's call for scalable adoption of private cellular networks. This capability, originally available in Mobile Network Operator (MNO) networks and now extended by OneLayer to mission critical networks, ensures seamless device and SIM onboarding without manual efforts. It ensures that only authorized devices connect to the network once a SIM is introduced into a device, streamlining the process of SIM provisioning, activation, and fingerprinting of the device, ensuring effective device onboarding.
"Our collaboration with Ericsson is pivotal for advancing device visibility, management, and security in modern mission critical networks. By incorporating ZT-ZTNA, we empower critical infrastructure providers to seamlessly manage device access and secure against evolving threats," said Dave Mor, CEO of OneLayer. "This solution enables businesses, such as utilities, to deliver better service to millions of customers and achieve sustainability goals for customers and stakeholders, without compromising on key objectives and defense strategies."
The integration bridges traditional mission critical network management and security systems with modern cellular networks, offering tangible business benefits such as increased growth, improved adoption rates, and enhanced network value. By automating device and SIM onboarding processes at scale, ZT-ZTNA facilitates task delegation among various teams, reducing bottlenecks, enabling rapid device onboarding, and expanding the range of use cases running over mission critical networks. This approach allows critical infrastructure providers to maximize the use of their networks and achieve higher ROI from their private cellular networks.
"The integration of OneLayer's ZT-ZTNA with Ericsson's Mission Critical Networks offering revolutionizes enterprise management and security of private networks devices," said Dana Jaber Diab, Vice President and Head of Utilities, Ericsson Americas. "This collaboration ensures critical infrastructure providers can leverage their private LTE/5G networks' full potential while maintaining optimal operations and robust defenses."
This solution offers both new and existing customers the opportunity to integrate advanced functionalities into their private networks seamlessly.
