Case Study: INVESTBANK achieves proactive cyber-risk management and uninterrupted banking services with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42

INVESTBANK proactively manages cyber risk with Unit 42

INVESTBANK, a Jordan-based boutique banking leader, made cybersecurity a top priority as it modernizes customer experiences across the Middle East. Operating a three-year rolling strategy to refresh security technology, the bank sought an independent, expert partner to continuously test and validate controls, ensure infrastructure resilience, and investigate any previously undetected malicious activity.

By engaging Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 (Compromise Assessment and Retainer) and deploying Cortex XDR, Unit 42 conducts proactive threat hunting, forensic analysis, and immediate incident response—uncovering hidden compromises and risky configurations such as shared or local admin accounts. The work delivered measurable improvements: 10 years free of attacks, 100% of security scorecards showing improvement, zero interruptions to banking services, faster mitigation recommendations, and stronger regulatory alignment.
