Case Study: Aiways achieves a secure, scalable global network for connected vehicles with Palo Alto Networks

Aiways Secures Its Global Network with Palo Alto Networks as It Gears Up to Disrupt the Automotive Market

Aiways, a Chinese tech-driven automaker founded in 2017 and building low‑emission, software‑defined vehicles, needed to secure an always‑connected global ecosystem that spans cars, factories, R&D and the supply chain. Because its vehicles receive frequent over‑the‑air updates and constantly transmit data, robust, scalable cybersecurity across international sites is business‑critical to mitigate risks as the company expands.

Aiways deployed Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XDR endpoint protection and PA‑3200 Series next‑generation firewalls in its Shanghai data center and Jiangxi production facility. The solution secures encrypted traffic at high throughput, enables secure OTA updates, centralizes and simplifies management (allowing a small team to manage security for ~1,000 employees), supports cloud/virtual deployments and GDPR compliance, and provides the scalability and brand trust Aiways needs as it prepares for global growth.
