SLB, an energy technology company, and Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity leader, are partnering to enhance cybersecurity in the energy sector. SLB will leverage Palo Alto Networks' cross-industry, platform-based cybersecurity solutions, combining its cloud and edge technologies and domain expertise in the energy industry.

 

 This partnership will help SLB maintain its security infrastructure and drive future solutions to address evolving cyber threats in the rapidly evolving digital and artificial intelligence industry.

 

 “The maturation of our industry’s digital transformation makes cybersecurity paramount to our operations, and the digital solutions we offer to our customers,” said Olivier Le Peuch, chief executive officer, SLB. “Through this collaboration, we will continue to enhance and strengthen our role as our customers’ digital partner of choice.”

 

As part of the collaboration, SLB will integrate Palo Alto Networks Precision AI-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.

 

“Through platformisation, organisations can simplify their management processes, reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO), and enhance their security outcomes,” said Nikesh Arora, chairman and chief executive officer, Palo Alto Networks. “Palo Alto Networks commends SLB for their forward-looking approach in shaping the future of the energy industry through secure and innovative solutions. Their vision for modern IT transformation through platformisation, aligns with our own commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure and driving technological advancement. Together, we can build a resilient and secure energy ecosystem that meets the challenges of tomorrow." -TardeArabia News Service
