Case Study: Registers of Scotland achieves digital transformation and automated AWS security with Palo Alto Networks

Palo Alto Networks portfolio helps underpin Registers of Scotland’s digital ambitions

Registers of Scotland, the public body that manages Scottish land and property registers, set out to digitise paper-based services and re-platform to a modern AWS cloud. Its legacy, siloed security and manual vulnerability and phishing handling—exacerbated by the pandemic-driven need to accept digital submissions—created operational risk and a requirement for a unified, automated cybersecurity platform to protect cloud workloads, detect evasive threats, and secure the CI/CD pipeline.

Registers of Scotland deployed the Palo Alto Networks portfolio—ML-powered next‑generation firewalls, WildFire, Cloud-Delivered Security Services, Cortex XDR and XSOAR, and Prisma Cloud—to deliver connected visibility, automated malware scanning (via the WildFire API with XSOAR orchestration), and cloud-native threat detection. The result: faster, safer cloud migration, quicker processing of registration applications, removal/isolation of key vulnerabilities, improved compliance and risk clarity, and automation that saved the equivalent of four full-time staff.
