Case Study: a large multinational organization strengthens cybersecurity operations with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42

Large Multinational Organization strengthens cybersecurity across dozens of countries with Palo Alto Networks Unit 42

A large multinational organization engaged Palo Alto Networks to assess and improve its security operations. The client faced the challenge of strengthening its cybersecurity posture across a complex, globally distributed network while managing stringent compliance requirements. They needed a partner to uncover inefficiencies in their people, processes, and technology and to test the effectiveness of their security controls.

Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 provided a solution using its Security Program Design and Purple Team Exercises services. They conducted an assessment based on the NIST CSF framework and ran real-time attack simulations. This process improved communication and coordination among security teams, strengthened cybersecurity controls and compliance, and provided increased visibility into the security program for the board of directors. The client was extremely pleased with the results, stating they had never had such a positive experience with a third-party assessment.
