Case Study: Forvia Faurecia achieves 70% SOC productivity gain and 99% reduction in manual alerts with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR

Forvia Faurecia puts security automation in the driving seat with Palo Alto Networks

Forvia Faurecia, a top-10 global automotive supplier with 257 sites in 39 countries and 111,000 employees, faced an overwhelmed six-person Security Operations Centre (SOC) struggling to manage massive alert volumes from EDR, SIEM, multicloud environments, and ITSM. Analysts spent excessive time pivoting between consoles, triaging false positives, and performing repetitive manual tasks, putting the business at risk during a period of rapid digital and product innovation.

The company standardized on Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR to ingest alerts from any source, automate playbook-driven incident workflows, and centralize threat intelligence and collaboration. The platform boosted SOC productivity by about 70%, enabled one-click containment actions, and in one case reduced manual handling of ~20,000 alerts to fewer than 200 (a 99% reduction), while providing trusted, auditable procedures and faster, more consistent incident response.
