Avrasya Tüneli (Eurasia Tunnel) “Palo Alto Networks scored highly on every aspect of the proof of concept. We worked closely with the local Palo Alto Networks team and channel support on a proof of concept. By evaluating all the features on the PA-3200 Series ML-Powered NGFW, we subsequently deployed the entire Palo Alto Networks platform."

Enloe Medical Center After a ransomware attack, Enloe Medical Center's cybersecurity team knew they needed to strengthen their security posture. They chose Cortex XDR to identify and respond to threats much more rapidly.

“The ‘aha!’ moment that told me that Cortex XDR was what we really needed was the level of visibility that it provided us and the speed at which we were able to triage and validate the information that was coming in. With the combination of XDR, MDR, and a Unit 42 retainer, I can now respond with confidence."

MineraExar “The project in the production plant strengthened our confidence in the Palo Alto Networks solutions, especially because of their capabilities to generate network visibility and provide us with security and traffic analytics. Now we could be calmer. That is why we decided to work with Palo Alto Networks in the next phase: the protection of the cloud and the endpoints."

Better Mortgage In this video, Jeff White, Director of Security, Better.com, discusses why he decided to move from EDR to XDR, and how a POC provided an easy choice to select Cortex XDR.
