Case Study: a global healthcare company recovers from ransomware with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42

Global 2000 Healthcare Provider restores critical operations in 48 hours with Palo Alto Networks

The customer, a Global 2000 healthcare provider, was crippled by a ransomware attack that encrypted its virtual servers and exfiltrated data. The urgent challenge was to recover life-saving applications immediately. The company engaged Palo Alto Networks and its Unit 42 incident response team to lead the recovery and investigation efforts.

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 deployed Cortex XDR to over 35,000 endpoints, identified the initial infection vector within hours, and restored mission-critical operations in under 48 hours. Under their guidance, the client's security was fortified with Prisma Access, NGFW, and Cortex XSIAM, leading to a full restoration of operations in three weeks and a significantly strengthened security posture.
