Case Study: Mainfreight achieves centralized visibility and faster detection and response across 300 branches with Palo Alto Networks

Mainfreight gains centralized visibility, speed to detect and respond across 300 branches globally

Mainfreight, a global logistics and supply‑chain provider with 12,000 team members across 300 branches, faced growing endpoint sprawl and fragmented security tooling that hindered realtime visibility, incident investigation, and threat hunting. Multiple vendors produced integration gaps and inconsistent behavioral detection, creating operational overhead and slowing response to sophisticated attacks.

Working with managed‑services partner LinearStack, Mainfreight consolidated on Palo Alto Networks technologies—NGFWs, Cortex XDR, Panorama and digital forensics—augmented by 1,300+ proprietary behavioral indicators (BIOCs). The integrated solution delivered single‑pane visibility across endpoint, network and cloud, faster detection and response, streamlined incident response, and scalable protection for devices on and off the network, improving productivity and overall security posture.
