After a hack at Equifax potentially put the information of 143 million U.S. consumers at risk, Palo Alto Networks Chairman and CEO Mark McLaughlin shed light on the measures the firm could have taken to ensure it was protected.

"Companies have been running very siloed, disparate capabilities for a very long time, and that's what we invented, was the whole idea to say, 'That's not the way to do it. You need this stuff to be automated and orchestrated and take the humans out of the process so somebody doesn't have to get alerted and go fix something somewhere,'" McLaughlin told CNBC's Jim Cramer in an exclusive Wednesday interview on "Mad Money."
