Case Study: Multiterminais achieves uninterrupted shipping, 80% fewer alerts and 93% faster detection with Palo Alto Networks

Complete, connected cybersecurity secures Brazil’s shipping trade

Multiterminais, one of Brazil’s largest marine terminal and dry port operators, handles millions of tons of freight around the clock and relies on minute-by-minute logistics to keep ships moving. Faced with the risk that any system outage could cost hundreds of thousands per day and with fragmented endpoint tools that previously caused multiday outages, the company needed a single, always-on cybersecurity platform to protect its ports, people, and processes.

Working with partner Brainwalk, Multiterminais deployed a connected Palo Alto Networks solution—ML‑powered Next‑Generation Firewalls, Cloud‑Delivered Security Services (Advanced WildFire, Threat Prevention, URL Filtering) and Cortex XDR across 500+ endpoints. The result: uninterrupted shipping operations with 100% availability (avoiding six‑figure daily outage losses), an 80% reduction in alerts, mean time to detect cut from 8 hours to 30 minutes (93% faster) and mean time to respond reduced by 90%, freeing the SOC to focus on prevention and strategic work.
