Case Study: Leading Automobile Company achieves faster application delivery and stronger compliance with Tigera Secure

Tigera Accelerates Application Delivery While Improving Security Posture for Automobile Manufacturer

Leading Automobile Company, a global leader in automobile manufacturing, wanted to build a more agile digital platform on Kubernetes but ran into major security and compliance roadblocks. Traditional firewall processes slowed application delivery by weeks, and standard network logs lacked the Kubernetes-level visibility needed to support compliance and investigate traffic across ephemeral workloads. Tigera was brought in to help address these challenges with a security approach suited for dynamic cloud-native environments.

With Tigera Secure for multi-cloud zero trust security, Leading Automobile Company replaced manual firewall changes with hierarchical, intent-based policies that secured east-west traffic across Kubernetes, VMs, and bare metal. Tigera also provided container-level flow logs enriched with Kubernetes metadata, improving compliance visibility and threat detection. The result was a same-day firewall policy turnaround instead of two weeks, faster application delivery, and stronger zero trust security across the company’s hybrid infrastructure.
