Federal agencies can access discounts of as much as 60% for select security offerings as part of the agreement.
The General Services Administration announced on Thursday that it reached an agreement with leading cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks to provide federal agencies with discounted rates on a variety of digital defense services.
The deal was worked out as part of GSA’s OneGov strategy, which has negotiated agreements with more than a dozen technology companies — including OpenAI, Microsoft and SAP — to streamline the use of technologies and systems at reduced costs.
“Strong cybersecurity is essential for meeting President Trump's call to accelerate AI adoption across government,” Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum said in a statement. “Securing federal networks and data will be easier and more cost-effective for agencies, thanks to this OneGov agreement with Palo Alto Networks.”
Through the latest OneGov agreement, GSA said Palo Alto Networks will offer “cost-effective discounts for AI Security, Cloud Security, Software Next-Generation Firewalls, and Service Access Zero Trust solution.”
GSA said the deal includes “three key offerings” from Palo Alto Networks, including its Software Next-Generation Firewall, Prisma Access Enterprise and Cloud Native Application Protection Platform.
The OneGov deal will allow agencies to receive 60% off the current government-listed price for designated bundles of Prisma AIRS Runtime Security and VM-Series Software Firewalls. This discounted rate also applies to the company’s Panorama and Cloud Delivered Security Services, as well as its Prisma SASE and Prisma Browser.
Additionally, agencies are able to receive a 35% discount on the cost of Palo Alto Networks’ Code to Cloud platform.
The discounted rates will be available through Jan. 31, 2028.
Palo Alto Networks Chairman and CEO Nikesh Arora placed the agreement in the context of the U.S. seeking to maintain its tech dominance over adversarial nations like China, saying in a statement that “to lead the global AI race, the U.S. government requires cybersecurity that moves faster than the threats.”
“This partnership with the GSA is about more than cost efficiency; it is about equipping federal agencies with the security platforms from AI, cloud and network security needed to fortify our digital borders,” Arora added.
While many of the OneGov agreements struck with tech companies are temporary and only offer discounted rates for set periods of time, GSA officials have said that they hope the initiative will ultimately lead to long-term partnerships with industry.
The latest agreement also comes as federal agencies continue to bolster their systems and networks from growing cyber threats, including through the adoption of Zero Trust security strategies.
Eric Trexler, senior vice president of public sector at Palo Alto Networks, said the company “designed this offering as a strategic path to Zero Trust and IT modernization.”
“By leading with integrated, next-generation platforms — specifically Prisma AIRS for AI security and our automated, AI-driven security capabilities — we are equipping federal agencies to consolidate their architecture, drive critical cost rationalization, and immediately leverage the automation required to keep pace,” he added.
