Case Study: Asklepios improves patient data protection and security visibility with Palo Alto Networks

Asklepios protects 170 healthcare facilities with Palo Alto Networks

Asklepios, one of Germany's largest healthcare providers, faced significant cybersecurity challenges in protecting patient data and modernizing its IT infrastructure. Their legacy security systems struggled to keep pace with sophisticated threats and integrate with new digital healthcare applications. To support its mission of becoming Germany's most digital healthcare organization, Asklepios partnered with Palo Alto Networks to implement a Zero Trust strategy and gain complete visibility into its network traffic.

Palo Alto Networks deployed a solution consisting of nearly 100 ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewalls across its facilities, complemented by the Cortex XSOAR orchestration platform. This provided Asklepios with near-real-time threat detection and automated security responses. The implementation resulted in a fourfold increase in the number of security cases the team could handle, greatly improving productivity and providing robust protection for patient data and critical healthcare systems.
