Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, has announced that SEGA\u00ae Europe, the distribution arm of interactive game publisher SEGA Games Co., Limited, chose the Palo Alto Networks Security Operating Platform as the standard for its security operations, providing centralized cybersecurity detection and prevention for its London headquarters and five world-class development studios spanning the U.K., France, Bulgaria, and Canada.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SEGA is a legendary video game pioneer and a prolific arcade game producer. SEGA Europe is the entertainment and media publishing arm of the company, focused on its diverse line-up of games and franchises including Total War, Football Manager, and Company of Heroes. With creative intellectual property at the core of the business, securing the IT infrastructure supporting its development studios is of paramount importance. However, its aging patchwork of point products lacked visibility and effectiveness against increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Palo Alto Networks has enabled SEGA Europe to transform security from a detect-and-remediate approach to one of active prevention, leveraging real-time threat intelligence to thwart cyberthreats of all kinds\u2014including zero-day attacks\u2014before they are able to impact the business. With the ability to centrally manage security policies across its geographically distributed business, SEGA Europe gained consistent policy enforcement, with the granular control to enable secure yet unimpeded access to applications and resources essential to developers and business staff at the game maker.<\/p>\n
