Case Study: muvi Cinemas achieves unified, automated cybersecurity and rapid threat response with Palo Alto Networks

muvi Cinemas deploys blockbuster cybersecurity with Palo Alto Networks

muvi Cinemas, Saudi Arabia’s fastest-growing cinema exhibitor, needed scalable, modern cybersecurity to match its digital-first, immersive expansion after movie screenings resumed in the Kingdom. With 22 locations and rapid rollout plans, the company required unified protection for networks, endpoints and mixed multicloud environments—plus 360-degree visibility and automated defenses to prevent attacks without tying up operational resources.

muvi standardised on the Palo Alto Networks portfolio—including Cortex XDR and Xpanse, ML-powered NGFWs with Panorama, Prisma Cloud, Unit 42 and cloud-delivered services like WildFire and DNS Security—deployed across its cinemas and cloud estates. The unified, automated stack and managed threat hunting delivered full visibility, IoT protection and continuous asset discovery, cutting MTTR from days to about two hours, saving the equivalent of two full-time staff, and enabling secure, accelerated expansion.
