SLB and Palo Alto Networks will expand their collaboration to strengthen cybersecurity for the energy sector, the companies said Aug. 19.

As part of the collaboration, SLB said it will integrate Palo Alto’s AI-powered cybersecurity platforms, including Prisma SASE, Prisma Cloud and Cortex XSIAM in its technology stack. These will enable SLB to achieve comprehensive security across its network, cloud and edge platforms, allowing thousands of domain and AI users on SLB’s Delfi digital platform to collaborate in a secure environment.

The two companies will also develop and implement solutions for edge products and services, which SLB says will be “critical” as more energy customers move toward automated and autonomous operations.

“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, CEO of SLB. “Through this collaboration, we will continue to enhance and strengthen our role as our customers’ digital partner of choice.”
