Case Study: Costa Group achieves dramatic operational efficiency and network stability with Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SASE

Costa Group Enhances Efficiency with Unified Network Security

Costa Group, Australia’s leading grower, packer and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables with 6,000+ employees and operations across remote domestic and international sites, was hampered by legacy MPLS and VPN networks. Frequent carrier failures, poor redundancy and limited visibility caused connectivity interruptions that disrupted productivity and made troubleshooting slow and resource-intensive.

Costa deployed a unified Palo Alto Networks platform—Next‑Generation Firewalls, Prisma SASE (Prisma SD‑WAN and Prisma Access) and Autonomous Digital Experience Management—which delivered automatic failover, end‑to‑end visibility and proactive diagnostics. The result: zero interruptions to user experience, a 50% drop in network support escalations, rollout times cut from months to days, and roughly 30% less troubleshooting time, enabling a leaner, more resilient network.
