The Chinese Network Security Review Office and the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) have launched a formal cybersecurity review of products provided by the US-based firm Palo Alto Networks. The authorities cited the need to protect critical information infrastructure and safeguard national security under existing cybersecurity laws.

This regulatory action follows previous increased pressure on the company in China during 2026. While Palo Alto Networks reported strong revenue forecasts, the review presents potential risks to its growth within the Asia-Pacific region. The company has stated that the review has not yet impacted support or update cycles for its existing customers.
