- Simpler operational model for customers with end-to-end accountability improves agility, efficiency, performance, and security

The shift to working from anywhere, software-defined networking, and the rapid adoption of cloud connectivity is enabling global enterprises to drive new levels of productivity and efficiency. However, as they redesign their distributed network infrastructure to meet the demands of hybrid workers and cloud computing, their attack surface expands, and they become increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats.
By combining Palo Alto Networks Prisma® SASE (Prisma Access + Prisma SD-WAN), with the connectivity and digital integration capabilities of Orange Business, along with the Managed Secure Access service by Orange Cyberdefense, customers can meet this challenge with a fully managed SASE solution that delivers a secure foundation for agile, cloud-enabled organizations.

Evolution Platform is the foundation for a secured, flexible, and virtualized ecosystem. Orange Cyberdefense’s unique threat intelligence backbone, complemented with state-of-the-art capabilities and expertise, including detection and response, helps organizations achieve better security outcomes.
Palo Alto Networks is the only SASE provider to be recognized as a Leader in both the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Service Edge (SSE) and SD-WAN. Organizations can confidently rely on Prisma SASE, a complete AI-powered SASE solution that combines network security, SD-WAN, and Autonomous Digital Experience Management (ADEM) into a single cloud-delivered service, which enhances security and reduces complexity.
Completely rethinking network and security architecture
World leader in mineral-based specialties, Imerys was looking to accelerate its cloud transformation, leveraging an agile infrastructure to transform its IT infrastructure to support its business growth, while ensuring the highest level of global security through the managed SASE solution by Orange and Palo Alto Networks. In addition, it has allowed it to help reduce costs by reducing its number of suppliers and to ease its M&A activity.
Imerys chose this SASE solution based on Orange Business and Orange Cyberdefense capabilities to create a secure, global, cloud-ready network, while smoothly migrating its current infrastructure. Palo Alto Networks Prisma SASE provides maximum protection, regardless of whether a user is on or off the corporate network, through a zero-trust approach.
