Case Study: Green Bay Packers achieve 40-second incident response with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM and Unit 42

Green Bay Packers cut incident response to 40 seconds with Palo Alto Networks

The Green Bay Packers, a legendary NFL franchise with a lean security team, faced the challenge of efficiently securing their digital environment across retail, healthcare, and entertainment operations, especially during high-stakes events that drew massive crowds. Their previous security setup with point products and an MDR provider was inefficient and lacked visibility. They turned to vendor Palo Alto Networks for a platform-based solution.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its Cortex XSIAM platform and Unit 42 Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. This AI-driven solution provided integrated visibility, automation, and 24/7 monitoring. The results were dramatic: the median time to resolve incidents dropped from 42 minutes to 40 seconds, and the platform saved an estimated 120 hours of labor per week. The Unit 42 MDR team also investigated 54% more alerts than the previous provider.
