*Realize quantified benefits worth an average of $3.78 million per organization when pairing Google Cloud together with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks.*

![Palo Alto Networks, Prisma Cloud, and Google Cloud](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Logos.png)

Both Prisma Cloud and Google Cloud recognize that cloud security is "job zero" and requires more than just bolted-on protection. To prove it we asked IDC Research to confidentially survey key stakeholders at organizations on their use of Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud environments. Our resulting [analysis and research report](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/PrismaCloud-IDC-buinsessvalue-Google.html) sourced from one-on-one interviews with users of Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud verified and confirmed that deep integration with a solution like Prisma Cloud is essential for achieving business value in the cloud.

## **Quantified Business Value with Prisma Cloud and Google Cloud Together**

Research firm IDC quantified use of Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud as delivering a return on investment (ROI) of $628,400 per 100 Google Cloud VMs per year.

Here's the full IDC summary of key cloud business value gained from using Prisma Cloud and Google Cloud together:

* 363% three-year ROI
* 6 months to payback
* 63% more security threat identified
* 37% fewer impactful security events
* 50% more efficient cloud security teams
* 8% lower spend on Google Cloud
* 24% faster migrations to Google Cloud
* 12% higher productivity for developers and DevOps teams

And the three-year ROI analysis by IDC Research:

***Figure 1.** ROI business value gained from using Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud environments.*

## **Before and After Results with Prisma Cloud**

The [IDC Research survey](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/PrismaCloud-IDC-buinsessvalue-Google.html) captured a "before Prisma Cloud" and "after Prisma Cloud" perspective of an organizations' ability to secure and run Google Cloud environments while minimizing risk and improving their ability to fully leverage Google Cloud in support of their business operations.

***Figure 2.** Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud was seen to find, respond, and remediate threats faster and reduce cloud risk.*

Prisma Cloud, together with Google Cloud, produces a strong return on their investment (ROI), realizing significant reductions in cloud security risk, better efficiencies for security teams, and increased operational value through lowered cloud costs, better migrations, and enhanced agility for development teams.

## Increased DevSecOps Productivity on Google Cloud with Prisma Cloud

![Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud increases your DevSecOps productivity.](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/4.png)
***Figure 3.** Prisma Cloud for Google Cloud increases your DevSecOps productivity.*

The Prisma Cloud cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is pre-built for Google Cloud and designed to enable DevSecOps adoption and better responsiveness with streamlined security for cloud and CI/CD teams.

When you bring Prisma Cloud DevOps-integrated security and Google Cloud services together, you are enabling a complete and full lifecycle security platform for cloud that allows security teams to move faster and have greater risk awareness. Just the ability to see full-lifecycle risk and to take automated actions across CI/CD pipelines adds up to significant productivity gains. With Prisma Cloud Shift-Left Security and our DevSecOps capability, we are delivering business value on Google Cloud.
