Enterprises operating private LTE and 5G networks, particularly those using multi carrier private APN environments, often struggle with fragmented visibility and inconsistent security enforcement. Traditional IT tools were not designed to manage cellular connected assets at scale, creating blind spots that can expose critical infrastructure to risk. Through the Sentry Program, certified partners gain the capability to deliver centralized visibility across all carrier deployments, enabling organizations to monitor and enforce policies from a single platform.

Tyler Larkin, General Manager of Cellular Networking Solutions at MCA, said, “Cellular APN customers have struggled to identify and secure devices used across multiple carriers. OneLayer’s platform provides the single pane of glass to monitor and enforce policies universally.” His statement highlights the operational challenges enterprises face as cellular connectivity becomes more integral to business operations.

The program also introduces a structured commercial model to support partner growth, including access to pre deployment tools, sales incentives, and certification pathways. Partners receive training and technical resources to build expertise in deploying OneLayer’s solutions, enabling them to deliver Zero Trust network access, automated SIM provisioning, and managed security services more effectively.

Joe Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Heddian, emphasized the importance of securing critical infrastructure, stating, “Utility networks are critical communications infrastructure, and the stakes for device visibility and security across those environments have never been higher. OneLayer gives utilities the control and insight they need to manage and secure every device on their private and carrier APN networks, and the Sentry Program gives us the structure to deliver that at scale.”

Dave Mor, Chief Executive Officer of OneLayer, added, “Enterprises are deploying private cellular networks at unprecedented scale, and the partners who support those deployments determine whether those networks are secure, visible, and operationally sound. The Sentry Program is our commitment to giving those partners the tools, economics, and certification they need to build high-value practices around private cellular security.”

The platform integrates with a wide range of ecosystem providers, including Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco, HPE, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and ServiceNow, among others, ensuring compatibility across diverse network environments.

The OneLayer Sentry Program underscores a broader shift toward embedding Zero Trust principles directly into private cellular infrastructure. As enterprises scale their 5G deployments, solutions that unify connectivity, visibility, and security will be essential to maintaining resilient and trusted network operations in increasingly complex digital environments.
