Informo’ s role: From partner to extension of the IT team
Informo has been Holambra’ s trusted technology partner for years, but the cooperative’ s latest cybersecurity push brought the relationship to a new level.
“ Informo is seen by us as an extension of our IT. It is a premium partner, grade 10,” Brito said.“ Recently, when we needed to expand our cybersecurity environment, Informo professionals sat down with our team and collaborated on the redesign of our architecture. Attitudes like these give us great confidence in this partner.”
Marco Antonio Giarone, Security Solutions Architect, Informo, pointed out that Holambra’ s success isn’ t just about the right technology.
“ In addition to the team’ s great technical knowledge, there is care in forming a corporate culture in which the security of critical data is everyone’ s responsibility. This achievement is part of Holambra’ s DNA.”
According to Giarone, Holambra’ s cooperative culture fosters a unique maturity in cybersecurity.
“ It is a mindset that is born in community life, where there is a convergence of values among all stakeholders. The recent advances in endpoint security are not just about tools – they’ re about enabling safe, productive remote work while protecting sensitive data.” web content,” Brito said.“ We were also able to apply security policies throughout the corporate environment, in addition to updating the platform to identify agents. When faced with a potential threat, we use the SonicWall platform to identify that danger and block it.”
Cyber awareness: A communitydriven approach
For Brito, the cooperative’ s sense of belonging is one of its greatest strengths.
But perimeter defense alone wasn’ t enough. Holambra also adopted SonicWall Capture Client, an advanced endpoint detection and response( EDR) solution, across desktops, laptops and servers. Capture Client combines behavior-based malware detection with application vulnerability scanning and zero-day threat prevention.
“ Our sales force and the body of directors and managers, in particular, often work outside the perimeter of the company,” Brito explained.“ To ensure the integrity of these professionals’ computers, we include them all in our network and perform remote management of these PCs. We use Capture Client to raise the level of security and management of these devices. The freedom of our employees is protected by us.”
