Case Study: City Brokerage Limited achieves superior visibility, secure access to core applications and US$50,000 in OPEX savings with Palo Alto Networks

City Brokerage realizes superior visibility and secures access of all core applications

City Brokerage Limited, a leading brokerage in Bangladesh and subsidiary of The City Bank, faced an operational disruption after a ransomware attack and limited visibility with legacy firewalls. With ~50% of staff working remotely and half of its applications in the cloud, the company needed Zero Trust protections, secure remote access, stronger cloud threat prevention, and adherence to regulatory mandates.

In partnership with Gazi Communications, City Brokerage deployed Palo Alto Networks’ ML-powered NGFWs along with GlobalProtect, Advanced URL Filtering, WildFire and cloud-delivered security services, completing a seamless migration. The solution delivered superior application visibility, 100% uptime, secured remote users and cloud workloads, ensured regulatory compliance, boosted productivity, and reduced operational expenditure by US$50,000.
