Cognizant transforms security with platformization and AI from Palo Alto Networks

SUMMARY

A $20 billion global technical services firm that employs over 340,000 associates worldwide, Cognizant helps its clients transform, manage, and operate various solutions across Information Technology and Information Security. Struggling with outdated tech, alert fatigue, and disjointed data, it partnered with Palo Alto Networks to implement a platformization strategy across network security, cloud security, and security operations.

Cognizant strives to be a leader in AI adoption and implement AI-driven solutions into its security toolset. This motivated the move to Cortex XSIAM to drive quicker response times and better decision making for its SOC. With Palo Alto Networks as its strategic partner, Cognizant is re-envisioning security to deliver more secure solutions both internally and to its customers.

"I want to be an AI led company when it comes to security, and that's where I see the innovation of what Palo Alto Networks is building in AI. It’s going to help us to process the volumes of data that we ingest daily to help our analysts make much better, faster decisions in order to protect the environment.”
