a large european transportation and logistics company restores critical operations in 7 days with Palo Alto Networks

A large European transportation and logistics company faced a sophisticated nation-state advanced persistent attack. The attackers exploited a web application vulnerability, deployed web shells, and stole sensitive data. The company engaged Palo Alto Networks, specifically their Unit 42 Incident Response team, to investigate, contain the threat, and restore critical operations rapidly.

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 team utilized their Cortex XDR platform to investigate the incident, identifying the initial compromise, attacker tools, and data exfiltration paths. They guided the containment and recovery, enabling the client to isolate affected servers within hours and fully restore business-critical operations in just seven days. The solution also included hardening recommendations to improve the client's future security posture.
