Case Study: U.S.-Based Packaging Manufacturer achieves stronger security, increased visibility, and reduced complexity with Palo Alto Networks

Packaging a secure future with Palo Alto Networks

A U.S.-based packaging manufacturer with a small IT team and an active M&A strategy faced security gaps and technology sprawl. Disparate legacy tools (cloud proxy, remote VPN and others) left IT without visibility or user-to-traffic association, slowed secure onboarding of acquisitions, and created unreliable workarounds that increased risk and troubleshooting time.

Partnering with Palo Alto Networks, the company consolidated onto a single platform—Panorama, Prisma Access, ADEM, and NGFWs—giving granular access controls, continuous connectivity, and end‑user experience monitoring. The result: one consolidated platform vs. four disparate tools, up to an 82% reduction in time spent resolving user experience issues, 25% more visibility into user traffic, faster secure M&A onboarding, less downtime, and stronger overall security.
