Story
Industrials work at HOK spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Cloud misconfigurations was splitting across regional habits. Cloud security engineers asked for a shared way to run cloud security review without freezing local judgment.
Palo Alto Networks (Strata) is what they standardized on. Palo Alto Networks provides network, cloud, and security operations products used to protect enterprise environments and automate response. HOK uses it as the system of record for cloud misconfigurations, with cloud security engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
