Case Study: Southern Nevada Health District secures remote public health services with Palo Alto Networks

Southern Nevada Health District secures 100% of endpoints in 2 minutes with Palo Alto Networks

The Southern Nevada Health District, a major public health agency serving the Las Vegas area, faced the challenge of maintaining its vital services during the COVID-19 pandemic. With two-thirds of its staff required to work remotely, the customer needed to quickly enable secure remote access while minimizing risk for field workers and preventing unknown threats.

Palo Alto Networks provided its Prisma Access solution to securely redeploy staff to a work-from-home model within two weeks. The vendor's Cortex XDR platform secured 100% of endpoints and successfully prevented threats, catching a ransomware attack in under two minutes. This solution allowed the health district to continue all critical public health services without layoffs, ensuring both operational continuity and community safety.
