Case Study: a Fortune 500 multinational bank achieves Zero Trust security and better user experience with Palo Alto Networks

Fortune 500 Multinational Bank boosts app scores nearly 50% with Palo Alto Networks

The customer, a Fortune 500 multinational bank, faced significant cybersecurity and operational challenges due to its complex and outdated network infrastructure. This legacy system left the bank vulnerable to threats, hindered its ability to support remote work, and caused frustrating application performance issues for its 55,000 users. To address this, the bank partnered with Palo Alto Networks to begin a Zero Trust journey.

Palo Alto Networks implemented a comprehensive security platform for the bank, starting with physical firewalls for branch segmentation and later deploying its Prisma SASE solution to secure a remote workforce. This was enhanced with security services for advanced traffic inspection and data loss prevention. The results were substantial, including a nearly 50% increase in internal application performance scores, a greater than 40% decrease in performance-related trouble tickets, and a 97% increase in the accurate detection of sensitive data.
