China's Cyberspace Administration (CAC) has launched a security review of Palo Alto Networks' products, citing the need to protect critical infrastructure and national security, though no further details have been provided. The probe mirrors a similar 2023 investigation into Micron, which ultimately resulted in the memory-maker being effectively banned from selling to Chinese critical infrastructure operators, costing it billions in revenue. Analysts suggest the review could be used to favour domestic competitors such as Huawei and H3C, while Palo Alto has stated there is currently no impact on its operations or customers in the region.
