Case Study: Cogentrix Energy achieves rapid AI endpoint visibility and risk remediation with Palo Alto Networks Koi Agentic Endpoint Security

Cogentrix Energy secures endpoints in 1 week with Palo Alto Networks

Cogentrix Energy, an independent power producer, faced the challenge of governing an expanding mix of AI tools across its endpoints with a lean, two-person security team. They had zero visibility into their AI landscape, which included models, browser extensions, and software marketplaces, making proactive risk management under strict NERC-CIP regulations nearly impossible. This lack of oversight created a tedious daily manual vetting process and friction between security and developer speed.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its Koi Agentic Endpoint Security solution, which provided immediate visibility and policy-based governance. The platform was deployed across all endpoints in just one week, identifying and enabling the remediation of 129 active AI security risks. The solution blocked 645,000 install attempts and significantly reduced the team's daily manual vetting time from two hours to just 30 minutes, freeing them to focus on strategic initiatives.
