The customer, a UK merchant banking group, faced the challenge of modernizing its security infrastructure amid a complex network and escalating threats. It needed to enable secure hybrid work, protect cloud applications, and move beyond mere regulatory compliance. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks for an integrated platform approach to cybersecurity.
