Case Study: Handelsblatt Media Group achieves secure, flexible remote work and €300,000 annual savings with Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access

Handelsblatt Media Group securely connects a global modern media organisation underpinned by Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access

Handelsblatt Media Group, a leading German business and financial media organisation with about 1,000 staff, needed a more secure, scalable way to support remote and hybrid work after the COVID-19 shift exposed limitations in its legacy remote-access platform (low MFA adoption, limited visibility). The organisation wanted instant, secure access for journalists and staff, a reliable path to 50% home working, and lower security costs.

HMG deployed Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access — a cloud-delivered SASE/SSE solution with ZTNA 2.0 — onboarding roughly 950 users to provide policy-based, cloud-native secure access and full content inspection. The result: stronger security and visibility, far fewer support tickets, improved employee satisfaction and agile workflows, a clear roadmap toward Zero Trust, and about €300,000 in annual savings versus alternative platforms.
