Golden Dome for America.
Securing the next era of
integrated defense.
Palo Alto Networks delivers a resilient, automated and AI-secured zero trust
foundation for a unified defense.
Defending at Machine Speed
Golden Dome is an orchestrated defense network that seamlessly integrates satellites, radars, interceptors and tactical systems to deliver a unified, coordinated defense. Palo Alto Networks stands ready to secure the digital fabric of Golden Dome.
Every second is critical in a hypercompetitive environment. As adversaries escalate their attacks, combining missile barrages with sophisticated cyber campaigns, the defense network faces a clear mandate: Detect, decide and respond faster than any human operator.
Our platform can protect each system layer, from Space to Domain Awareness, through zero trust principles, automated orchestration and AI-driven resiliency. Meeting this demand requires elastic compute, real-time data movement and cyber automation across the system architecture, ensuring protection fuels innovation.
A Unified "System of Systems"
Golden Dome's layered architecture creates a single defensive system that can sense, decide and act faster than any threat. Each layer has a distinct mission: Space sensors provide global awareness, upper systems manage coordination and under systems execute tactical engagements.
Connecting Physical Systems with Digital Command
Data fuses for real-time decisions within the Domain Awareness Layer. Golden Dome connects operational technology (OT) across the battlespace with information technology (IT), ensuring data is available to all kinetic processes for defense adaptation.
The Secure Cyber Fabric for Every Layer
Palo Alto Networks is the only cybersecurity company offering a platform that can protect every system layer from Space to Domain Awareness. Our platform uses zero trust principles, from robust segmentation to finely grained policy enforcement.
Expert Services and Operational Confidence
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42® provides human-driven cyber support. Cleared experts are equipped to deliver threat intel cyber assessments, tabletop exercises and readiness validation across Golden Dome’s lifecycle.
Zero Trust Is the Defense Doctrine for Golden Dome
Every system. Every connection. Every decision. Verified.
Golden Dome’s success depends on resilience, not just detection. Palo Alto Networks industry-leading platforms are purpose-built to implement Zero Trust across eight operational pillars, to secure the entire command ecosystem from code to control.
- Accelerate Integration and Speed to FieldAs a trusted partner already embedded in legacy components, our solutions are ready now. Our common platform approach allows Department of Defense integrators to leverage the current footprint, deploy faster, integrate securely and maintain verified trust — ensuring the speed to field required for mission success.

- Achieve Operational Resilience with Zero TrustGolden Dome’s success depends on more than just perimeter detection. We implement a zero trust framework across the entire ecosystem, securing everything from code to control. Every piece of data is evaluated in real time against identity, device posture and behavioral norms, all enforced through a single, unified policy.

- Master Complexity with AI-Driven DefenseUnifying systems creates a complex attack surface. Using Palo Alto Networks Precision AI® within Cortex XSIAM®, we fuse data from every sensor and node into an automated defense engine. Combined with Strata™ network defense and Prisma AIRS™ (AI Runtime Security™), this creates a coordinated cyber domain that detects, correlates and responds in real time.

Defense Starts with Cyber. Cyber Starts with Palo Alto Networks.
Golden Dome represents one of the most ambitious defense integration efforts in U.S. history. Palo Alto Networks seeks to ensure it is also the most secure, unified, automated and resilient under any condition.
