U.S. artificial intelligence cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks has helped improve the resilience and security of the Ministry of Justice UK’s digital services by extending access to its Prisma SASE and Cortex XSIAM offerings.
According to the Palo Alto Networks website, Prisma SASE is a comprehensive Secure Access Service Edge solution that drives trust in multi-cloud architecture by securing applications and data while delivering high-level security and user experience and resilient operations. Meanwhile, Cortex XSIAM is an AI-enabled security operations platform designed to consolidate organizations’ data and tools in a single solution.
Helmut Reisinger, CEO of Palo Alto Networks’ business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said that through the collaboration, the company helped revamp the MoJ’s Security Operations Centre with the necessary tools to monitor threats and security across critical services.
He said the company’s Customer Success and Professional Services teams worked with the MoJ “to build an effective SOC with embedded threat intelligence and proactive security monitoring across all of the ministry’s critical services.”
“This has achieved improvements across the metrics that are priorities for the MoJ, including reducing mean time to detect, mean time to respond and operational risk,” he added.
