About this analyst report
257% 3-year ROI and <6-month payback for SOC transformation.
A Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Palo Alto Networks shows how global organizations are transforming with our AI-driven Cortex XSIAM® platform. The results are undeniable: stronger security and measurable business value.
Based on customer interviews, the study found $5.6M in value over three years and a payback period of less than six months. As one SecOps leader put it, “We saved a couple million dollars a year on tooling right off the bat, which the CFO loved.”
Get the study to see how interviewed customers:
- Cut operational costs by $2.4M, reducing investigation caseloads by 70% and freeing up teams for higher-value work.
- Lowered breach risk by 60%, bolstering defenses and cutting MTTR by 85%.
- Unified their SOC on Cortex®?, consolidating up to 21 siloed tools on one platform — cutting complexity and costs.
Explore the complete, data-driven breakdown of how XSIAM is transforming the SOC.
