Case Study: ChristianaCare achieves consolidated network security and secure virtual care with Palo Alto Networks

ChristianaCare brings care closer to patients with a platform approach to network security

ChristianaCare, the largest healthcare system in Delaware with hospitals and outpatient facilities across four states, faced increasing cybersecurity complexity that hindered collaboration between network and security teams. Siloed legacy tools strained a lean security staff and made it difficult to enable secure remote work and protect patient data as cyberattacks grew in volume and sophistication.

By partnering with Palo Alto Networks and adopting a platform approach, ChristianaCare consolidated four point products into a single stack—using Next‑Generation Firewalls, Cloud‑Delivered Security Services, and GlobalProtect—to deliver secure remote access and real‑time threat prevention. The unified solution enabled seamless virtual care during the pandemic without exceptions to security, simplified management, and helped bring care closer to patients by allowing clinicians to securely access systems from anywhere.
