Case Study: IIFL Finance achieves end-to-end threat visibility and scalable cybersecurity with Palo Alto Networks

Transforming Cybersecurity to Accelerate Business Growth

IIFL Finance, a leading Indian financial services group with more than 2,000 branches and diversified businesses, needed to secure sensitive customer and financial data while supporting rapid digital growth and widespread remote work. The organization sought unified visibility across on‑premises and multi‑cloud environments and a long‑term security strategy to manage rising threat and traffic volumes.

IIFL deployed Palo Alto Networks Strata Next‑Generation Firewalls, Panorama centralized management, and WildFire malware prevention across its perimeter, data center, and public clouds. The implementation—completed just before the COVID‑19 lockdown—delivered end‑to‑end threat visibility, stronger application and workload protection, improved cloud‑native control, and scalable performance with no user‑impact, enabling secure remote access and positioning IIFL to pursue further automation and faster investigations.
