Case Study: Cox Automotive saves $700K and modernizes security analytics with Upsolver

Cox Automotive Modernizing Security Logging Analytics for an Auto Leader

Cox Automotive, a digital automotive services leader, needed a better way to handle rapidly growing cloud security and operations logs as it moved more products from 40+ data centers to AWS. The company wanted real-time visibility for security threat detection and cloud monitoring, but raw log ingest was becoming too expensive and difficult to scale across its 25 brands and 16 subsidiaries.

Using Upsolver with Amazon Athena and AWS S3, Cox Automotive built a cloud data lake to store and query log data, then streamed only relevant events into Splunk for deeper investigation. Upsolver helped the company go live in 30 days, saved $700K, and improved response to security threats while reducing engineering complexity and enabling scalable, low-cost log analytics.
