Case Study: Better modernizes security and automates threat response with Palo Alto Networks

Digital-first homeownership company adopts a consolidation strategy to modernize security

Better, a U.S.-based digital-first homeownership company offering mortgages, real estate, title, and homeowners insurance, needed to modernize security as it scaled and launched new online services. The company faced hundreds of daily alerts, required a cloud-based VPN for thousands of remote employees, and had to lock down customer PII and intellectual property while meeting regulatory and cost constraints.

Better consolidated on Palo Alto Networks—deploying next-generation firewalls, Prisma Access, Prisma Cloud, Cortex XDR and XSOAR, plus Unit 42 MDR—to unify network, cloud, endpoint, and SOC operations. The rollout delivered secure remote access in five days, automated roughly 90% of SOC responses, improved MTTR, increased AWS visibility, and lowered costs compared with its prior multivendor approach, freeing teams to focus on higher-value work.
