Case Study: Outokumpu strengthens global manufacturing security with Palo Alto Networks

Outokumpu protects 3,000+ hybrid employees with Palo Alto Networks

Outokumpu, a global stainless steel manufacturer, faced significant cybersecurity challenges due to its reliance on a fragmented patchwork of separate firewalls and unreliable, expensive VPN connections. This lack of unified visibility increased its risk of cyberattacks and hindered its ability to support modern, around-the-clock manufacturing operations. To address this, the company partnered with Palo Alto Networks for a consolidated security platform.

The solution from Palo Alto Networks included its PA-Series and VM-Series Next-Generation Firewalls, Cloud-Delivered Security Services, Panorama, and Prisma Access. This implementation provided Outokumpu with a single pane of glass for security management, protected over 3,000 hybrid employees, and delivered threat updates in seconds. The results were reduced complexity, lower costs, and a scalable, secure foundation for its global digital transformation.
