Case Study: Forbes Global 2000 Manufacturer protects trade secrets and speeds threat detection with Vectra AI Inc.'s Cognito

Specialty chemicals and advanced materials

A Forbes Global 2000 specialty chemicals and advanced materials manufacturer faced growing cyber risk: protecting R&D, manufacturing formulas, employee and customer data, and an extended supply chain across 50 countries while meeting GDPR requirements. Its security team was overwhelmed by high volumes of inconclusive alerts and needed faster, clearer detection of complex, multistage attacks before production or reputation could be harmed.

The company deployed Vectra Cognito, an AI-powered network detection and response platform that analyzes network metadata, logs and cloud events to find hidden attackers in real time and provide actionable context from its European operations center. The deployment delivered immediate visibility across cloud, data center, user and IoT environments, automated threat hunting and faster investigations, reduced operational workload and strengthened GDPR compliance—safeguarding intellectual property and sensitive data worldwide.
