The reductions, including about 100 roles in Israel, hit overlapping positions created by the merger and were concentrated in sales, operations, and administrative functions. Research and development was explicitly spared to keep engineering talent, particularly in Israel. Affected staff reportedly received notice periods of 3 to 12 months plus several months of severance pay. The deal, Palo Alto's largest acquisition and first major public-company takeover, pushes the company into identity security and nearly doubles its Israeli headcount. CEO Nikesh Arora had earlier framed the purchase as strengthening the platform and boosting investment rather than cutting jobs.
