BTB Soluções advances 23% in cloud cybersecurity maturity

Combined actions significantly increased the client's security posture, mitigating potential threats and ensuring the integrity of the systems.

The BTB Soluções, focused on assisting organizations with complex decisions in the areas of IT and Telecom, selected Teltec Data to strengthen its cloud cybersecurity maturity. Through an assessment of the company's Azure cloud environment, BTB Soluções advanced 23% in the Security Score of Microsoft Defender for Cloud and further strengthened its data protection strategy.

According to recent projections from IDC, investments by companies in cloud platforms are expected to continue growing significantly in the country – the total investment volume is projected to reach R$ 1.5 billion in Brazil. BTB Soluções is following this trend and understands that the cloud is essential for innovating and expanding businesses, which also operate in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Panama. However, cybersecurity is a recurring concern, leading the organization to seek Teltec.

“Cybersecurity and data protection, whether for our users, clients, or partners, have always been a fundamental pillar of our business strategy. With the cloud, we felt the need to enhance this maturity as well as advance in other aspects to have a more protected environment against cyber threats,” said Danilo Ikebara, IT Manager of BTB Soluções.

After an onboarding call to understand the challenges of BTB Soluções, Teltec conducted an assessment of the company using the Microsoft Defender for Cloud and the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB) framework.

From this action, the Security Score was generated, showing the overall level of the environment, covering possible vulnerabilities, protection of virtual networks, establishment of private connections, prevention and mitigation of external attacks, and DNS security.

The use of single sign-on, implementation of stronger authentications, managed identities for applications, conditional access, and account anomaly monitoring was evaluated. Aspects such as classification, protection, and monitoring of confidential data assets were also enhanced, placing even greater emphasis on access control, encryption, key management, and certificates.

All of this resulted in the implementation of best security practices as advocated by the MCSB, such as the adoption of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users. Additionally, security alerts generated by Microsoft Defender for Cloud regarding cloud assets were evaluated to strengthen the security posture, adopt proactive measures, and mitigate potential threats.

By adopting best security practices, the company reduced cloud security vulnerabilities, prevented and mitigated external attacks, protected confidential data, and ensured service continuity.

“Moreover, we maintain our clients' trust, focus on compliance with regulations and industry standards, reduce costs related to incidents and recovery, and become even more competitive in the market,” said Danilo.

The choice of Teltec Data was made not only due to recommendations from colleagues and market research but also because of the agility and attention given by the company during the pre-sales process.

“From the very beginning of our contact with the Teltec team, we noticed a tremendous dedication to answering our questions and requests, while the other competing company was slower. When the proposals arrived, it became evident that, in addition to presenting the best conditions and having excellent references, Teltec stood out in the quality and excellence of service throughout the entire journey,” explained Danilo.

For the executive, the partnership with Teltec was fundamental for BTB Soluções to achieve its security and innovation goals. In fact, he is already planning to implement ISO 27000 with the support of Teltec.

“Without a doubt, we want to count on Teltec again. They have the ideal size to serve you well and provide quality service, regardless of the size of your company. It is clear that they are not focused on just selling expensive products, but on offering exactly what you need for your requirements,” he concludes.
