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 your network, cloud, and endpoints.
The challenge
Security teams aren't short on tools – they're overwhelmed by them.
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 campus, cloud, and remote users, stitching together a coherent defense without the right platform underneath it becomes nearly impossible.
The complexity isn't just operational — it's a risk.

Our partnership
We’re a Diamond Reseller and Platinum Managed Service Provider
CBTS has been a Palo Alto Networks partner since 2012. In that time, 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 (next-generation firewall and network security), Prisma (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 — not just recommend.

What we deliver
Network and Security, Unified
The gap between your network team and your security team is where risk lives. Prisma SASE closes it by converging SD-WAN, zero trust network access, cloud-delivered security, and secure web gateway into a single, cloud-native platform.
CBTS designs and deploys Prisma SASE environments built for hybrid organizations — giving every user, in 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 That Doesn't Wait
Point solutions detect. Cortex XDR responds. By correlating data across endpoints, network, and cloud in a single platform, Cortex XDR surfaces the threats that individual tools miss — and automates the response before damage spreads.
CBTS deploys Cortex XDR as a managed service, giving your team 24x7 coverage backed by our security operations engineers without the overhead of building it yourself. Read the full story.
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 at Scale
Most SOCs are stuck in a detect-and-ticket model. Cortex XSIAM changes the operating model entirely — 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 — including exposures you didn't know existed
Your Network's First Line of 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.
Our specializations in both hardware and software firewalls mean we can meet you wherever your network lives today — and architect for where it's going.
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

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.

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.
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.
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.
