Case Study: Koch Logistics achieves superior network visibility and application-level control with Palo Alto Networks

Global Transportation Logistics Firm Deftly Navigates Network Security

Koch Logistics, a global transportation and distribution provider, needed better protection for the high volumes of customer data it moves daily. The company’s legacy firewall lacked application‑level visibility and control, leaving it exposed to webmail misuse, peer‑to‑peer traffic and spyware and offering poor vendor support.

Koch replaced the old device with a Palo Alto Networks PA‑2000 Series next‑generation firewall—an on‑site test uncovered P2P applications and spyware the old system missed. The deployment delivered granular application visibility and policy control, reduced exposure to threats, lowered operational costs versus renewing the prior solution, and restored confidence in the company’s network security.
