Case Study: SkiStar achieves stronger network and endpoint security with Palo Alto Networks Traps

Scandinavian Resort Giant Delivers Secure Network Experience for Guests Online and on the Ski Slopes

SkiStar, a leading Scandinavian ski resort operator, needed to improve its network security to reliably deliver safe web and mobile app experiences for its guests. Its legacy Cisco firewall, IPS, and web proxies were complex and allowed threats like ransomware to disrupt operations. To combat this, the company turned to Palo Alto Networks and its Next-Generation Security Platform.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its platform, including Threat Prevention, URL Filtering, WildFire, Traps, and GlobalProtect, to provide end-to-end security. The solution automatically detects and blocks known and unknown cyberthreats, has eliminated ransomware problems, and extends protection to all employee endpoints. The platform's single interface also simplified administration, saving the IT team hundreds of hours per year while delivering more complete security with far less complexity.
