Case Study: PEXA achieves timely threat detection and streamlined AWS compliance with Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud

PEXA relies on Prisma® Cloud for timely threat detection and mitigation across their cloud platform

PEXA, an ASX-listed digital property exchange and fintech platform operating in Australia and the UK with 1,000+ employees, faced growing security and compliance challenges as its cloud footprint expanded. Relying on AWS native tools and open‑source scripts left gaps in real‑time detection, threat intelligence, and audit-ready reporting—critical deficiencies for a heavily regulated payments and settlements business that needed unified visibility, faster response, and simplified compliance.

PEXA deployed Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud to provide CSPM/CNAPP and cloud workload protection with integrated threat intelligence, UEBA, and IaC/code scanning. The solution delivered a single pane of glass for cloud and container security, automated compliance reporting (supporting SOC 2, ISO27001 and regional standards), reduced alert volumes through prioritization and shift‑left practices, and allowed PEXA to scale and complete acquisitions without increasing security headcount.
