Case Study: KSG Catering achieves 50% network performance uplift and 50% reduction in connectivity costs with Palo Alto Networks

KSG achieves 50% increase in network security performance using Palo Alto Networks

KSG, an Irish food‑services specialist serving 13 million meals across 120 catering sites, faced outmoded MPLS networks and legacy endpoint security that caused poor visibility, intermittent outages (uptime sometimes below 70%), high VPN and operational costs, and slow threat detection—hindering customer experience and growth.

KSG standardized on Palo Alto Networks’ AI‑powered SASE platform (Prisma SD‑WAN, NGFWs, Strata Cloud Manager and Cortex XDR) with Pure Networks to simplify management and enforce Zero Trust. The deployment cut connectivity costs by 50%, doubled site throughput (50% performance uplift), reduced connections from 14 to 1, raised availability to 90%, cut security administration by 60%, brought new sites online in about 14.5 minutes, and enabled near‑real‑time incident detection and response.
