In a cybersecurity landscape where speed and resilience define success, modern enterprises can no longer afford slow incident response, fragmented protection, or manual recovery efforts.
Today, it’s not just about preventing breaches, it's about minimizing impact, accelerating recovery, and outpacing attackers when incidents occur.
At C1, we help organizations rethink their cybersecurity approach with the C1 AI-Powered Security Automation Solution Suite, leveraging the advanced capabilities of Palo Alto Networks. Together, we enable enterprises to achieve faster, smarter recovery while building stronger, AI-driven threat defenses.
Here’s how forward-looking organizations are modernizing security operations, and why partnering with C1 and Palo Alto Networks is a powerful way to stay ahead.
The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever
Cyber incidents are growing in complexity, frequency, and cost:
- According to IBM's 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach cost has risen to $4.45 million, a 15% increase over three years.
- Forrester Research emphasizes that organizations with slower response times face up to 54% higher total breach costs compared to those who act quickly.
- Gartner predicts that by 2026, 75% of organizations will shift from a purely preventive cybersecurity posture to one that emphasizes threat detection, response, and recovery.
Speed matters. Resilience matters. Yet many organizations are still relying on outdated, manual methods that can’t deliver either.
A New Model for Security Success: C1 + Palo Alto Networks
Modern enterprises need a holistic, intelligent approach to cybersecurity — one that covers the full lifecycle from proactive defense to automated detection to orchestrated recovery.
That’s where the synergy between C1’s Advisory, Professional, and Managed Security Services and Palo Alto Networks’ AI-powered platforms comes in.
Together, we deliver an integrated solution that helps enterprises:
- Detect and contain threats in real-time
- Minimize incident impact through intelligent automation
- Accelerate recovery processes and return to normal operations faster
Key Ways that C1 and Palo Alto Networks Drive Faster Recovery and Stronger Defense
- AI-Driven Threat Detection and Containment
Palo Alto Networks’ platforms, such as Cortex XSIAM for extended detection and response (XDR), leverage machine learning to detect anomalies, malicious activities, and advanced threats at machine speed.
C1’s Managed Services enhance this capability by delivering proactive threat hunting, policy optimization, and incident response support—ensuring Palo Alto Networks' AI-driven technologies like Cortex XSIAM operate within a well-integrated, context-aware security environment.
IDC research shows that organizations using AI-driven detection and response tools reduce the average time to contain a breach by up to 85%.
- Intelligent, Automated Incident Response
Manual containment and remediation efforts are too slow to meet today’s cyber risks.
By automating common response playbooks, like isolating infected endpoints, blocking malicious domains, and notifying affected teams, C1 and Palo Alto Networks help organizations contain incidents in minutes, not hours.
And with C1’s Professional Services, response plans are customized, integrated, and tested, ensuring real-world readiness when it matters most.
According to ESG, automated response processes reduce incident lifecycle times by 40–50%, freeing teams to focus on strategic security improvements.
- Orchestrated Recovery for Business Continuity
In many cases, incident recovery is as critical as threat defense.
C1’s approach to recovery includes:
- Rapid validation of restored systems
- Secure reintegration into operational networks
- Guided root cause analysis and compliance reporting
By embedding Palo Alto Networks’ visibility and control into recovery workflows, and managing response with C1’s expert teams, organizations can return to full business operations faster and more securely.
Ponemon Institute research indicates that organizations with orchestrated recovery processes resume normal operations 30% faster than those using ad-hoc manual efforts.
- Unified Visibility and Proactive Threat Management
Fragmented tools create blind spots. Through integrated platforms like Palo Alto Networks' Strata Next-Gen Firewalls and Prisma Cloud, combined with C1’s Managed Services, enterprises achieve unified visibility across endpoints, networks, users, and cloud environments.
Real-time dashboards, prioritized alerts, and expert-guided threat management ensure that recovery is supported by accurate, timely intelligence.
Business Outcomes You Can Achieve
When you combine C1’s services with Palo Alto Networks’ innovation, the results are transformative:
- 50–70% reduction in Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) to security incidents
- 30% faster system recovery post-incident
- 25–40% reduction in operational security costs through automation and managed services
- Greater regulatory compliance with faster incident documentation and reporting
In short: Faster recovery, stronger defense, better resilience.
