Case Study: EchoStar achieves unified AI and security operations with Palo Alto Networks

EchoStar achieves 91% automated security closures with Palo Alto Networks

EchoStar Corporation, a global provider of connectivity and entertainment services, faced significant security challenges as it integrated AI and managed a massive hybrid infrastructure that extended to satellites. Their legacy tools created silos, struggled with data volume, and lacked the visibility needed to govern AI use and nonhuman identities. To address this, they partnered with Palo Alto Networks to transition from a fragmented approach to a unified security platform strategy.

By implementing Palo Alto Networks' platform, including Cortex XSIAM, Prisma AIRS, and Next-Generation Firewalls, EchoStar achieved complete visibility and automated the vast majority of its security operations. This solution delivered measurable results for the customer, including a median incident response time of just 13 seconds and 91% of all security cases being fully closed by automation. The partnership with Palo Alto Networks provided EchoStar with a resilient digital core, allowing them to focus on innovation.
