Case Study: City of Whittier achieves 100% device visibility and 5-minute MTTD with Palo Alto Networks

City of Whittier cuts MTTD to 5 minutes with Palo Alto Networks

The City of Whittier, a municipal government in California, partnered with Palo Alto Networks to address cybersecurity challenges stemming from an understaffed IT team and fragmented security tools. The city lacked visibility into its IoT devices and enterprise network, which created significant risk for its critical public services.

Palo Alto Networks provided a platform solution including Enterprise Device Security, Cortex XDR, and Unit 42 MDR services. This implementation gave the City of Whittier 100% visibility into its devices, reduced mean time to detect threats to five minutes, and saved the IT team nine hours of manual labor per week.
