Case Study: Aguas Andinas achieves 98% less security administration time with Palo Alto Networks

Aguas Andinas cuts security administration time by 98% with Palo Alto Networks

Aguas Andinas, the largest water utility in Chile, faced challenges with a fragmented set of security tools that threatened the resilience of its critical water services. Their legacy VPN was expensive and lacked visibility, while disconnected tools slowed threat detection to 24 hours. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks to reimagine network connectivity and reduce complexity.

Palo Alto Networks implemented an integrated security platform including next-generation firewalls, Prisma Access, and Cortex XSOAR. This solution provided a consolidated, AI-powered approach that secured remote workers and accelerated safe access to the cloud. The results were dramatic, with threat detection time reduced from 24 hours to 5 seconds and a 98% reduction in time spent on security administration. Aguas Andinas also achieved $380,000 in cost savings and a 100% increase in connectivity performance.
