Case Study: Imagination Technologies Group achieves secure hybrid working and protects semiconductor IP with Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access

Imagination Technologies secure their hybrid working future with Palo Alto Networks

Imagination Technologies, a UK‑headquartered leader in semiconductor IP with over 1,000 employees worldwide, needed to secure a rapidly growing, hybrid workforce. The lean security team was hampered by fragmented point solutions, shadow IT in satellite offices, and inefficient VPN backhauling that caused latency and inconsistent policies—raising the risk to sensitive IP and undermining user experience.

Imagination adopted Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access as part of a broader portfolio (NGFWs, Cortex XSIAM, Unit 42) to provide cloud‑native SSE, least‑privilege access, and continuous trust and threat verification. The deployment brought protection closer to users, delivered consistent, always‑on security and better performance for 1,000+ remote workers, reduced false positives, simplified SecOps, and strengthened IP protection while supporting agile hybrid working and talent retention.
