a fortune 500 beverage manufacturer cuts ransomware incidents to zero with Palo Alto Networks

The customer, a Fortune 500 beverage manufacturer, faced significant security challenges after transitioning to the cloud, suffering over a dozen major ransomware incidents annually. They needed to secure over 25,000 global employees while managing the complexity of six different security vendors. To address this, they partnered with Palo Alto Networks.

Palo Alto Networks implemented a Zero Trust solution using their Next-Generation Firewalls, Prisma SD-WAN, and GlobalProtect. This multi-layered approach secured cloud networks, connected manufacturing sites, and protected remote workers. The results were dramatic: ransomware incidents dropped to zero from over twelve per year, compromised endpoint incidents for remote workers were reduced by 75%, and management overhead was cut by 90%, saving millions in vendor consolidation.
