Case Study: Jefferies achieves secure remote work and simpler hybrid network management with Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access

Jefferies cuts security policy management time in half with Palo Alto Networks

Jefferies LLC, a global investment banking firm, faced significant complexity and risk in its hybrid IT environment, which was accelerated by a rapid shift to a remote workforce. The need to handle clients' extremely sensitive data required increased security and data loss prevention across the network. To address this, Jefferies turned to vendor Palo Alto Networks and its Prisma Access solution to gain control, reduce complexity, and enable a single unified security policy.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its cloud-delivered Prisma Access platform to securely connect Jefferies' global workforce, branch offices, and data centers. The solution dramatically reduced security policy management time by half, provided a massive increase in internet speed, and decreased latency for users. This allowed the firm to transition seamlessly to remote work, ensuring business continuity without interruption and establishing a secure backbone for its future architecture.
