Case Study: SEGA Europe achieves real-time threat prevention and unified visibility with Palo Alto Networks

Gaming giant stamps down cyberattacks with real-time threat intelligence and prevention

SEGA Europe, the London-based publishing arm of SEGA with five development studios across four countries, faced a patchwork of security tools and limited visibility into network vulnerabilities. The company needed consistent, granular control over application traffic and a more proactive way to protect valuable IP and distributed teams from increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.

SEGA deployed the Palo Alto Networks Security Operating Platform—including next‑generation firewalls, WildFire, AutoFocus, GlobalProtect and Panorama—to gain single‑pane visibility, enforce application‑based least‑privilege policies, and feed real‑time threat intelligence into prevention controls. The result: automatic blocking of zero‑day and phishing attacks, faster investigations and enforcement across studios and remote users, a shift from remediation to prevention, and significant time saved on incident response.
