Case Study: Caesars Entertainment achieves swift, secure M&A data onboarding with Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Access

Caesars Entertainment Onboards Data Swiftly and Securely for M&As

Caesars Entertainment, the world’s largest gaming and hospitality company with 55 properties, faced a recurring security challenge: rapidly and safely onboarding networks and data from frequent mergers and acquisitions—often during the disruption of COVID-19—while protecting against unknown vulnerabilities and supporting remote workers. The company needed a scalable, simple way to grant just‑enough access for new users without exposing its broader network.

By deploying Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access (part of a SASE and Zero Trust approach), Caesars created a cloud‑delivered security perimeter that enforces consistent policies, reduces complexity, and scales for large M&A events. The result: secure onboarding times dropped from as long as 90 days to 1–3 days, remote users receive a uniform protected experience, visibility and standardization improved without adding headcount, and the company gained a competitive edge through faster, safer integrations.
