Case Study: ON2IT achieves Azure firewall deployment in minutes with Palo Alto Networks Cloud Next-Generation Firewalls

Reducing Azure network security deployment time from days to minutes

ON2IT, a global managed security services provider with 300+ clients in the Netherlands and the US, needed a simpler, faster way to secure growing Azure workloads without adding operational overhead. The team wanted cloud‑style, centrally managed network security that avoided the limited native Azure firewall and the complexity of third‑party virtual appliances, while enabling rapid, low‑risk deployments and strong Zero Trust controls.

ON2IT implemented Palo Alto Networks Cloud Next‑Generation Firewalls for Azure with Panorama and Cloud‑Delivered Security Services (WildFire, Advanced Threat Prevention, DNS Security, Advanced URL Filtering). The solution provides one‑click, Layer‑7 Zero Trust protection, unified management, and scalable deployment—cutting firewall rollout from days to minutes (from about two days to 30 minutes), improving threat protection against zero‑day attacks, and reducing TCO and operational complexity.
