Case Study: G42 achieves secure, scalable AI and cloud research with Palo Alto Networks

Powering world-forward AI and cloud research with unified security

G42, an Abu Dhabi–based global leader in AI and cloud computing, faced rapid expansion across multiple offices and a surge of highly sensitive customer data. That growth widened its attack surface, created inconsistent security policies, and relied on manual processes—so G42 needed a resilient, scalable network security architecture with centralized management and secure remote connectivity to protect data without slowing innovation.

G42 standardized on Palo Alto Networks’ intelligent, ML-powered security portfolio—including next‑generation firewalls, endpoint protection, and GlobalProtect—to deliver unified, automated traffic classification, user‑based policies, and threat prevention. The result was consistent visibility and protection across sites and cloud workloads, faster incident response, reduced manual security work, secure remote access, and the ability to focus resources on AI and cloud research while preserving business continuity.
