Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

AT&T maintains extensive vendor relationships with Israeli-origin technology companies across software, cybersecurity, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Critical Network Infrastructure Investment: AT&T acquired a 15% equity stake in DriveNets in October 2025 through a secondary transaction valued at $750-800 million, valuing the Israeli network infrastructure software company at $5 billion 1. DriveNets’ Network Cloud software handles approximately 52% of AT&T’s core production network traffic, representing a critical operational dependency in core network routing infrastructure 1.

BSS/OSS and Billing Platform: AT&T maintains a multi-decade BSS/OSS and billing relationship with Amdocs, serving as Amdocs’ largest customer 2. In August 2024, AT&T selected Amdocs’ connectX cloud-native SaaS platform to support new digital brand launches and MVNO operations 2.

Managed Security Services: AT&T offers enterprise security products powered by multiple Israeli cybersecurity vendors. The company provides “AT&T Email Security with Check Point” for malware protection, along with Industrial IoT security solutions powered by Check Point technology 3. AT&T also offers “Managed Endpoint Security with SentinelOne – Ranger,” providing 24/7 threat monitoring via AT&T SOC, consolidating AV, EDR, and endpoint protection functions 4. In April 2025, AT&T announced a strategic agreement for “AT&T Dynamic Defense with Palo Alto Networks” delivering SASE solutions across wireline and wireless connections 5.

Venture Portfolio Investments: AT&T invested $23 million in Team8’s 2016 strategic financing round, and Team8 continues to be listed on the AT&T Ventures portfolio page as a company AT&T “works with” 67. AT&T led Carbyne’s $100 million funding round in 2022 and maintains an active partnership for NG911 emergency communications 8. AT&T Ventures participated in Cyera’s $300 million Series C in April 2024 at a $1.4 billion valuation, with AT&T also functioning as a customer of Cyera’s data security platform 9.

Innovation Infrastructure: The AT&T Foundry in Ra’anana was opened in 2011 in formal partnership with Amdocs, serving as a co-innovation center 10. The facility is listed among AT&T’s 5 permanent global Foundry locations 107.
