Case Study: NovaGroup achieves 50% cost savings and rapid Zero Trust WFH scaling with Palo Alto Networks

Driving Zero Trust architecture and massive 50% cost savings for NovaGroup

NovaGroup is a multi-industry Vietnamese conglomerate of eight member companies operating across property, services, technology and consumer goods. Facing thousands of daily attacks and a sudden pandemic-driven shift to work from home, the small cybersecurity team needed rapid mass VPN scaling, better visibility and a Zero Trust architecture to ensure business continuity and secure remote access across its ecosystem.

NovaGroup deployed Palo Alto Networks’ ML-powered Next-Generation Firewall, Threat Prevention, GlobalProtect, Advanced URL Filtering, WildFire and ZTNA, supported by a new SOC. The rollout enabled hundreds of companies in the group to move to WFH in a week or two, delivered more than 50% total cost savings versus legacy solutions, improved threat detection and management, and laid the groundwork for cloud transformation and stronger cyber resilience.
