Palo Alto Networks needed a better way to support unified cloud security analytics, governance, and real-time recommendations for Prisma Cloud because separate module-level data models and governance practices blocked cross-product threat visibility and slowed reusable analytics development.
Reported impact
Palo Alto Networks improved unified cloud security analytics, governance, and real-time recommendations for Prisma Cloud with measurable results including 40% helping businesses keep their customers safe from cyberthreats and 3x reduction in time required for data preparation and movement, while giving teams a faster path from governed data to production decisions.
Palo Alto Networks uses Databricks Data + AI Platform to support unified cloud security analytics, governance, and real-time recommendations for Prisma Cloud. The implementation replaced a legacy state where separate module-level data models and governance practices blocked cross-product threat visibility and slowed reusable analytics development. Prisma cloud module data and security alerts move through Spark Declarative Pipelines and land in Delta Lake, giving teams one trusted data foundation. Unity Catalog governs access, lineage, and compliance across sensitive datasets. Databricks SQL and Agent Bricks operationalize models, agents, and analytics that deliver real-time security recommendations and shared analytics tools.
Prisma cloud module data and security alerts land on a shared platform, pipeline services clean and standardize them, governance controls enforce trusted access, and AI, model-serving, and analytics services deliver real-time security recommendations and shared analytics tools.
