## The use case: how Palo Alto Networks deploys Claude

Palo Alto Networks uses Claude on Google Cloud in its engineering organization for real-time code completion and IDE code chat covering architectural explanation, code generation and debugging. It also runs an AI post-processing system in CI/CD that improves code quality and generates unit tests.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Claude and Palo Alto Networks, not ours.

> Claude’s implementation has transformed software development at Palo Alto Networks. New developers can now contribute meaningfully within weeks, instead of taking months to fully understand and contribute to complex codebases.

- **70%**: “In the pilot program, junior developers with no prior knowledge of a complex product completed integration tasks 70% faster with Claude’s assistance.”
- **2,500 developers**: “Onboarded 2,500 developers, ramping up to 3,500 in the coming months”
- **3,500 developers**: “3,500 developers”

> Anthropic prioritized safety and security a lot more than other LLMs. They discuss security and safety implications in every meeting. As the largest cybersecurity company, that’s a big deal for us
