Case Study: Fenaco achieves rapid SOC modernization and faster threat detection and investigations with Vectra AI Inc.'s Cognito platform

Mega-producer of consumer goods relies on Vectra in the SOC

Fenaco, a Swiss cooperative and major consumer‑goods producer (about CHF 7 billion in revenue and 10,000 employees across 50 business units), faced decentralized security operations that relied on perimeter tools and produced limited visibility, alert overload and redundant tooling. The company needed to modernize into a single security operations center (SOC) and adopt AI-driven detection to find and prioritize attackers who bypass perimeter defenses.

Fenaco deployed Vectra’s Cognito platform (Cognito Detect and Cognito Stream), stood up a centralized SOC in 2–3 months, and integrated enriched metadata into Splunk. The AI-based NDR automated manual tasks, rolled up related alerts, prioritized high‑risk behaviors, and cut investigation times from days to hours while freeing analysts to focus on threat hunting and incident response.
