Case Study: Avrasya Tüneli strengthens tunnel security and cuts alert volume with Palo Alto Networks

Avrasya Tüneli detects 100% of IoT devices within 48 hours with Palo Alto Networks

Avrasya Tüneli, a major transportation tunnel linking Europe and Asia in Istanbul, faced the challenge of protecting its extensive IT infrastructure and thousands of IoT devices from sophisticated cyberattacks with a small, three-person security team. They needed an integrated and automated security strategy to ensure uninterrupted service for over 50,000 daily drivers and turned to Palo Alto Networks for a solution.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its integrated security platform, including its ML-Powered NGFW, IoT Security, and Cortex XDR. This solution provided complete visibility, automated threat prevention, and a unified management view. The results were significant, including 100% of IoT devices detected within 48 hours, a complete stop to C2 activity with DNS Security, and an almost 100% reduction in alert volume, all achieved without needing to increase their security headcount.
