Nokia OneLayer Partner to Enhance Security Private 5G Networks Utilities

Nokia and OneLayer have formed a strategic partnership to enhance security and operational efficiency in private 5G and LTE networks, particularly targeting utility companies aiming to modernize their grid infrastructure. By integrating Nokia's secure private network technologies with OneLayer's operational technology (OT) asset management, the collaboration delivers improved device visibility, micro-segmentation, zero-trust security, and faster incident response capabilities. This joint solution leverages Nokia's NetGuard security suite to provide real-time threat detection and digital identity protection, complemented by OneLayer's expertise in managing OT edge assets. The partnership addresses increasing cybersecurity risks in private cellular networks, where many cyberattacks are linked to insufficient security measures. While Nokia's financials show strong margins but declining revenue and potential overvaluation, this collaboration highlights the company's ongoing commitment to mission-critical network solutions for utilities and critical infrastructure. No financial terms of the partnership have been disclosed.
