Case Study: US Signal Company, L.L.C. achieves 97% faster firewall provisioning and centralized Zero Trust security with Palo Alto Networks

US Signal, primed to scale, safeguards sensitive information

US Signal, a Midwest data center and cloud services provider serving regulated industries like healthcare and banking, faced rapid growth and operational complexity from running multiple firewall platforms. The company needed a single, VMware-compatible solution that delivered best-in-class security, real-time updates, and strong automation to reduce human error, simplify customer choices, and scale its cloud offerings.

US Signal selected Palo Alto Networks’ VM‑Series virtual firewalls and integrated cloud services, using Ansible/Terraform automation and IronSkillet templates to provision fully secured firewalls. The deployment cut provisioning time by 97% (from about three hours manual to a 20‑minute automated build with roughly five minutes of human input), centralized security management, accelerated customer decisions, and delivered rapid protection against zero‑day threats, strengthening US Signal’s security posture and competitive position.
