Case Study: 7X achieves lower TCO and stronger network security with Palo Alto Networks

7X reduces security TCO by 40% with Palo Alto Networks

7X, a major trade, transport, and logistics group based in Dubai, faced challenges with a complex and costly multi-vendor network security setup. This legacy system lacked visibility, hindered performance, and absorbed significant resources. To support its growth ambitions, 7X needed to simplify its security, reduce risk and costs, and migrate from an expensive MPLS network. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks to deploy a unified platform using ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls.

The Palo Alto Networks solution provided 7X with complete visibility and a more resilient security posture through 120 firewalls managed via Panorama. The implementation of cloud-delivered security services and a shift to VPNs resulted in a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership and a 30% saving in IT resources. The organization also achieved a 20% faster deployment of new services and a 10% improvement in both mean time to detect and mean time to resolve threats.
