a multinational insurer achieves 99.9999% network availability with Palo Alto Networks

A multinational insurer, a Forbes Global 2000 organisation, faced severe business risk from a complex and bolted-on cybersecurity environment. This led to major network outages, including one lasting five days, which damaged their brand and revenue. Their legacy VPN also struggled to scale, and manual security management across hundreds of AWS accounts slowed innovation. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks for a unified platform solution.

Palo Alto Networks implemented their platformization approach using Next-Generation Firewalls, Prisma Access for secure remote access, and Prisma Cloud for cloud security, managed via Strata Cloud Manager. This solution delivered 99.9999% network availability, eliminated major incidents, and secured over 200 AWS accounts. It also saved 24 person-hours in security administration daily and seamlessly scaled remote access from 1,000 to 11,000 users.
