Indonesia’s PT Telkom has moved to strengthen its security capabilities by adopting Palo Alto Networks’ next-generation firewalls.
The operator will deploy Palo Alto’s Next Generation Security Platform for its security operations center to support its global expansion plans. Telkom aims to become one of the five largest telecoms operators in Southeast Asia.
Telkom has replaced its legacy firewall systems with eight Palo Alto firewalls, as well as its network security management solution Panorama and its contextual threat intelligence service AutoFocus.
Panorama provides static rules and dynamic security updates to simplify the management of a changing threat landscape.
“Palo Alto Networks has enabled us to take our security operations to a higher level. I now have complete visibility of threats, the team has become more skilled, and we’re better able to focus on the development of new services,” Telkom Indonesia VP of IT strategy and governance Sihmirmo Adi said.
He said the operator expects the platform to help it save billions of rupiahs in future capex and spend significantly less time managing its network.
