Case Study: Hydro Tasmania achieves seamless remote work and stronger security with Palo Alto Networks

Hydro Tasmania transitions 1,200 employees to work from home overnight with Palo Alto Networks

Hydro Tasmania, Australia's largest renewable energy generator, faced challenges in consolidating its diverse security technologies and providing secure, consistent remote access for its geographically dispersed workforce across Australia and India. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks to modernize their infrastructure and support a new, agile network architecture.

The solution implemented Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access to provide Zero Trust Network Access and Secure Web Gateway capabilities, unified with their existing firewalls and Panorama management. This consolidation reduced complexity and hardware costs while enhancing security. The results were proven when the already-deployed platform enabled a seamless transition for 1,200 employees to work from home overnight at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with zero disruption to customers or need for additional investment. Palo Alto Networks provided a scalable solution that guaranteed business continuity.
