Palo Alto Networks has partnered with Deutsche Telekom to launch Sovereign Cortex with T Security. This AI-driven SecOps platform is designed specifically for Europe's most regulated industries.

The collaboration addresses compliance requirements for GDPR, NIS2, and DORA regulations. Deutsche Telekom will independently govern all data sovereignty controls, including residency, access, and encryption.

Support operations will be managed exclusively by personnel located in Europe under European law. The solution targets organizations in healthcare, financial services, the public sector, and critical national infrastructure.

The initial release of the platform is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
