China Opens a Cybersecurity Review Into Palo Alto Networks

Beijing opened a formal review that could chill Palo Alto Networks’ business in China and warns other foreign security vendors they may face scrutiny.

  • Beijing launched a cybersecurity review into Palo Alto Networks, deepening the tense technological standoff between China and The United States.
  • Earlier this year, China barred cybersecurity products from American and Israeli firms, including Palo Alto, while Beijing hit back at Washington with curbs on dozens of US firms.
  • Palo Alto deepened cyber partnerships with NATO, making it more suspect in Beijing, after previously avoiding linking China to a major hacking campaign due to retaliation concerns.
  • Washington is drafting a ban on Chinese devices in data centers, forcing Western security firms to pick sides as the global cybersecurity market fractures along geopolitical lines.
  • Reviews can stretch on with little public explanation, leaving firms in limbo, as the process serves as a warning that even companies guarding sensitive networks are fair game.
