Leading companies face big challenges in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape

“We realized that maintaining a large supplier list is a big risk, so we needed to strategically consolidate our toolset.”

- Jatinder Singh,
Head of Product Security, Informatica

“Having disparate toolsets across our environment was very difficult to manage. We needed a cohesive, supported platform with one data source.”

- Chris DeBrunner,
Vice President of Security Operations, CBTS

“We're a small team with a tight budget, so I needed them to know one solution and know it well.”

- Joey Smith,
VP & CISO, Schnuck Markets

See how organizations turn chaos into control with platformization

Platformization creates a unified architecture that streamlines management and operations, allowing you to supercharge your risk posture, reduce complexity, and prevent AI-specific threats.

“Whether it's our SOC, our network, or our connections to the internet, I sleep better at night knowing that Palo Alto Networks is there to support our organization.”

- Alexander Schuchman,
CISO, Colgate-Palmolive

Step by Step Over Time
