Case Study: Pregis achieves uninterrupted operations and proactive cybersecurity with Palo Alto Networks

Improving Business Continuity While Boosting Security for Pregis SpA

Pregis SpA is a leading Italian food services distributor (about 200 employees, 300 sales consultants, 9 branches, ~18,000 customers and 6,000 orders/day) that must guarantee timely, uninterrupted deliveries to hotels, restaurants and public institutions. To protect its 1,900+ devices and critical operations, the company needed to modernize perimeter, network and endpoint defenses to stop sophisticated threats (including ransomware and social engineering) while gaining centralized management and ensuring rapid deployment without disrupting business continuity.

Pregis deployed Palo Alto Networks PA‑Series NGFWs (plus a VM‑Series virtual firewall), managed via Panorama, and added DNS Security and Cortex XDR on endpoints. The integrated solution increased traffic visibility and proactive protection, automated threat blocking (DNS sinkholing), and centralized monitoring and response—reducing attack lifetimes to minutes, cutting repetitive security tasks by up to 80% and overall security effort by about 40%—helping Pregis maintain continuity and focus on its core food‑service operations.
