Caso de éxito: Vía Célere, building a Zero Trust security strategy with the support of Softeng

Current situation

The sophistication of cyberthreats and their impact on organizations in a hybrid digital work environment has led companies to become increasingly aware of the importance of cybersecurity in a digitally driven world, but there is still a long way to go. Vía Célere is one of the companies leading the way in adopting an advanced level of cybersecurity following a Zero Trust strategy.

Be aware to become aware

Initially, Vía Célere employed basic and traditional security measures (such as antivirus and antimalware), but after carrying out an internal and external security audit, they observed the need for more advanced measures to detect, prevent and respond to possible cybersecurity incidents. That was when they become aware of the importance of implementing security measures on all surfaces vulnerable to attacks.

Solution

Vía Célere defined a cybersecurity roadmap that included the creation of a CISO office, a Security Master Plan and a Business Continuity Plan, together with an implementation plan for measures recommended by Softeng—deployed through its security solutions packaged according to priorities—to protect identity surfaces, devices, applications, data and infrastructure, comprehensively covering all the needs for the detection and prevention of threats and security incidents.

Also noteworthy was the deployment of personalized security policies according to the extensive type of Vía Célere users and their needs, who in a hybrid work model need to connect to the corporate environment in a secure and flexible manner, whenever and wherever they are. From users who work in offices, to users on the go, users with personal devices (BYOD), and external users who also connect to the corporate environment.

Zero Trust, you make your own way

Currently, Vía Célere has consolidated an internal digital security culture, empowering users to work safely in a hybrid work environment.

And, together with the support of Softeng, it has reached an advanced level of security, managing alerts from Microsoft 365 and Azure on a daily and centralized basis through the Softeng Max Platform, and applying a more advanced management layer with Microsoft Sentinel to orchestrate all events from different sources and data sources in a scalable way leveraging the Microsoft Cloud.

Looking to the future, and following its Zero Trust security strategy, Vía Célere will continue its path covering not only the detection and prevention of cyberthreats, but also applying intelligence and automation to guarantee a rapid and precise response to each of the possible attacks and cybersecurity incidents.

Key elements of the project

• Definition of a customized plan with a fluid implementation process between Vía Célere and Softeng.
• High level of involvement of Vía Célere employees, driven by the IT area, to achieve a successful, efficient deployment in record time.
• Softeng’s support and expertise in Microsoft Cloud security solutions.

Vía Célere’s opinion

In recent years we have focused very specifically on the field of cybersecurity, and we have taken a huge step in reaching an advanced level of security. Softeng has been by our side in this process, and we highly value the high technical knowledge of their team, the confidence they give us and the added value that their support gives us in all projects.
