Case Study: City of Las Vegas achieves unified 5G security and 100% device visibility with Palo Alto Networks

Las Vegas fuels bold vision for 5G connectivity with Palo Alto Networks 5G-Native Security

The City of Las Vegas set out to build one of the largest 5G networks in the U.S. to connect city hall, venues, parks and thousands of IoT devices, but struggled with fragmented, siloed security, insufficient visibility, and the need to enforce Zero Trust and compliance across the network.

By partnering with Palo Alto Networks and deploying Next‑Generation Firewalls and cloud‑delivered security services, the city consolidated nine point solutions into a single platform, implemented least‑privilege access and AI‑powered traffic inspection, and gained 100% device visibility—cutting time spent managing security by 25% and simplifying operations while strengthening overall protection.
