CHALLENGES

Advancing digital transformation in a rapidly changing retail environment

Westfield operates 34 malls in the US and UK, and strives to create landmark shopping destinations and a great experience for its retail partners and 400 million customers. It needed to improve and expand its digital offerings, particularly as retail was dramatically transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic.


REQUIREMENTS

Increasing control and visibility while reducing costs

As Westfield moved to become a stronger digital enterprise with more mobile applications and public-facing websites, it needed to provide secure access to those digital resources. It also needed for its IT department to have control and visibility across a widely distributed network, with increased flexibility to meet changing conditions and reduced costs.


SOLUTION

Prisma SASE’s integrated, cloud-based services streamline business processes

Secure access service edge, or SASE, brings together networking and security technologies into a single, cloud-delivered service model. Deploying Prisma SASE, a combination of Prisma Access and Prisma SD WAN, Westfield was able to streamline application development and business processes, strengthen security, and improve the experience for employees, retail partners, and customers.


BENEFITS

Delivering a secure, satisfying experience while reducing costs

With Prisma SASE, Westfield improved visibility and control of network services at its malls and in the cloud. Prisma SASE gave executives confidence that people could access the data and services they need, while preventing unauthorized access– all while increasing customer satisfaction and employee productivity and reducing costs.

When people are making connections to your SaaS platforms or your other applications, you know they’re going where they’re supposed to go–and if they try to go somewhere they shouldn’t, they’re blocked. So from a control aspect, Prisma SASE is a great positive for CISOs and Compliance Officers.”
