Case Study: Zespri International Limited achieves simplified global security, seamless network access, and improved IT visibility with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE

Prisma SASE simplifies and enhances security for Zespri

Zespri International, the world’s largest exporter of kiwifruit with 1,000+ employees operating in 26 countries, needed to strengthen security as its business and remote-access needs grew. With a small internal team and reliance on basic cloud-provider controls, the company faced limited visibility, slow troubleshooting, and rising remote-access challenges—problems that were amplified during the pandemic and across a complex global supply chain.

Zespri deployed Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma SASE (Prisma Access, Prisma SD‑WAN) with Autonomous Digital Experience Management, implemented by a two-person security team with vendor support in under six months. The rollout delivered single-pane visibility and actionable intelligence, cut site setup to about 30 minutes, reduced onboarding and travel setup from days to minutes, and drove security incidents from several per month to mostly zero—letting a lean IT team manage secure global access more efficiently.
