Palo Alto Networks and SLB expand their collaboration

Global energy technology company SLB (SLB) and global cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks (PANW) announced they are expanding their collaboration to strengthen cybersecurity for the energy sector. The companies will combine SLB’s cloud and edge technologies and domain expertise in the energy industry with Palo Alto Networks cross-industry, platform-based cybersecurity solutions. This will not only help SLB remain on the forefront with its own security infrastructure, but also help drive future enhanced solutions to address evolving cyber threats as the industry’s adoption of digital solutions and artificial intelligence accelerates. As part of the collaboration, SLB will adopt Palo Alto Networks Precision AI(TM)-powered cybersecurity platforms, including Prisma SASE, Prisma Cloud, and Cortex XSIAM in its technology stack. These platforms will enable SLB to achieve comprehensive security across its network, cloud and edge platforms, enabling thousands of domain and AI users on SLB’s Delfi digital platform to collaborate in a safe and secure environment. The two companies also will develop and implement solutions for edge products and services, which will be critical as more energy customers move toward automated and autonomous operations.
