Case Study: Forvia scales enterprise-wide security validation with Pentera

Forvia Scales Security Validation Across their Enterprise - Wide Network

Forvia, a major global automotive supplier, faced the challenge of scaling its security validation across a complex, decentralized network of over 300 sites. Their previous manual penetration testing was slow and unscalable, and their vulnerability scans lacked context, making it difficult for local IT teams to prioritize and remediate issues. They turned to vendor Pentera to help implement a continuous Automated Security Validation solution to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and map real attack paths.

Pentera's solution, utilizing its Distributed Attack Orchestration, enabled Forvia to conduct simultaneous, automated testing across its entire environment. This allowed them to test over 132,000 IPs every three months. By integrating with ServiceNow and focusing remediation on the most critical findings, Pentera helped Forvia's local teams close security gaps efficiently. The results included the discovery of critical oversights missed by other tools, a significant increase in team efficiency, and the establishment of tracked metrics to ensure long-term remediation effectiveness.
