CBTS + Palo Alto Networks

Security without silos, built on Palo Alto Networks

CBTS + Palo Alto Networks

Security without silos, built on Palo Alto Networks

Your environment is more complex and more exposed than ever. CBTS and Palo Alto Networks help you consolidate your security stack, close the gaps, and automate your defense across network, cloud, and endpoints. 

Tool sprawl has become a security risk.

Security teams today manage dozens of point solutions that don't talk to each other, generating alerts no one has time to act on, while attackers exploit the gaps in between.

As your environment stretches across distributed locations and users, stitching together a coherent defense without the right platform becomes nearly impossible.

Our partnership

We’re a Diamond Reseller and Platinum Managed Service Provider.

CBTS has been a Palo Alto Networks partner since 2012. We've built one of the deepest Palo Alto Networks practices in North America, earning NextWave Diamond status as a Solutions Provider (Resell) and NextWave Platinum status as a Managed Services Security Provider (MSSP).

We design, deploy, and operate Palo Alto Networks environments at enterprise scale spanning all three platforms: Strata for next-generation firewall and network security, Prisma for SASE and cloud security, and Cortex AI-driven threat detection and security operations.

With 100+ PANW certifications, seven NextWave Specializations, and 90 network and security operations engineers, CBTS brings the verified technical depth to deliver.

What we deliver 

Network and Security

Prisma SASE closes risk gaps by converging SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), cloud-delivered security, and secure web gateway into a single, cloud-native platform.

CBTS designs and deploys Prisma SASE environments, providing every user across every location consistent, policy-driven access.

 

 Business outcomes:

  • Eliminate split-stack complexity between networking and security.

  • Give remote and branch users the same security posture as HQ.

  • Reduce WAN costs while improving application performance and visibility.

Threat Detection 

Cortex XDR correlates data across endpoints, network, and cloud in a single platform, surfacing threats that individual tools miss and automating the response before damage spreads.

CBTS deploys Cortex XDR as a managed service, giving your team 24x7 coverage backed by our security operations engineers.

 Business outcomes:

  • Reduce mean time to detection and response from days to minutes.

  • Correlate endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry in a single view.

  • Free your internal team from alert triage so they can focus on higher-value work.

AI-driven Security Operations 

Cortex XSIAM changes the operating model entirely by consolidating SIEM, XDR, SOAR, and attack surface management into one AI-driven platform that automates investigation and response.

CBTS has deployed XSIAM in its own operations, consolidating 20 security tools into one platform and reducing median incident resolution from days to 13 seconds.

 Business outcomes:

  • Consolidate your security stack and eliminate redundant tooling.

  • Automate tier-1 and tier-2 analyst work with AI-driven playbooks.

  • Gain complete visibility into your attack surface.

Policy-driven Defense

Whether you're running physical appliances, virtual deployments, or cloud-native firewalls, CBTS designs and manages Palo Alto Networks Strata next-generation firewall environments that grow with your infrastructure. We've acheived specializations in both hardware and software firewalls.

 Business outcomes:

  • Enforce consistent security policy across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

  • Gain application-layer visibility and control your current firewall can't provide.

  • Reduce firewall management overhead with centralized policy and automated updates.

 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

Frequently asked questions

What is Prisma SASE, and what problem does it solve?

Prisma SASE converges SD-WAN, zero trust network access, cloud-delivered security, and secure web gateway into a single cloud-native platform, closing the gap between your network and security teams. CBTS deploys it for hybrid organizations, so remote and branch users get the same security posture as headquarters while WAN costs come down.

What’s the difference between Cortex XDR and Cortex XSIAM?

Cortex XDR correlates endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry to surface and automate response to threats individual tools miss. Cortex XSIAM goes further by consolidating SIEM, XDR, SOAR, and attack surface management into one AI-driven SOC platform. CBTS delivers XDR as a managed service and has run XSIAM in our own operations, consolidating 20 tools into a single platform.

Our security team has too many tools. How does Palo Alto help?

Having too many tools that that don’t talk to each other is a common problem. It often results in an onslaught of alerts that no one can act on while attackers exploit the gaps. Palo Alto’s Strata, Prisma, and Cortex platforms consolidate that sprawl. CBTS designs, deploys, and operates them so you reduce complexity instead of adding to it.
Can CBTS run this as a managed service instead of us building a SOC?

CBTS deploys Cortex as a managed service with 24x7 coverage from our security operations engineers, so you get the outcome without building and staffing a SOC. That frees your internal team from alert triage to focus on higher-value work.
How established is CBTS with Palo Alto Networks?

CBTS has been a Palo Alto Networks partner since 2012. We hold NextWave Diamond status as a Solutions Provider and Platinum status as an MSSP, with 100+ certifications and 90 security operations engineers. That is verified depth to deliver and operate at enterprise scale.
