Company providing cybersecurity solutions prospects news for the portfolio and trends in events in the segment
That the cybersecurity industry is constantly growing is nothing new. According to the Cyberattack Insurance Report How to optimize capital allocation and mitigate information system risks, by Bravo Research, for the year 2023, more than US1TP4Q10 billion should be invested by companies and corporations in the cyber responsibility segment. This brand makes companies providing solutions and services focused on digital security develop more and more tools that aim to prevent attacks and seek to protect valuable data of companies that hire this type of service.
Aiming at new partnerships and hiring, Compugraf, a provider of Cyber Security, data privacy and compliance solutions for the main Brazilian companies, aims to conquer this and new markets in 2023. Specialist in GRC and ESG services, the company seeks, together with its partners, boost cybersecurity solutions in Brazil, a country that occupies second place in the ranking of the biggest targets of cyberattacks in the world.

Headquartered in the city of São Paulo, like most of its customers, the company added three new partners to its portfolio, Checkmarx, Netskope and Proofpoint, and the intention for 2023 is to expand its capacity nationwide. “The expansion of the portfolio and national expansion are factors that help in the prospect of new solutions for our customers. The scenario is constantly changing and being up-to-date is essential to reach markets that are more profitable and invest in our projects”, says Carlos Giliarde, director of Compugraf.
According to the executive, Brazilian companies are increasing their level of maturity and investing more and more in security and privacy. “We are following that the market need today is focused on skilled labor. The security market is experiencing a shortage of professionals at the same time that the number of attacks and specialized tools is growing. Therefore, investing in a solid and effective internal team is the best strategy for us to continue offering an assertive and indispensable service”, he points out. Amid the wave of mass layoffs and lay offs in various sectors of the economy, the company closed January 2023 with 150 employees, accounting for a growth of 8% compared to 2022.
“Faced with this scenario, two points must be taken into account. The first is that companies cannot hire and retain professionals, or cannot keep them with up-to-date knowledge. And the second is that it is increasingly complex to manage multiple solutions with a shortage of professionals. As a result, there is an increase in the demand for solutions as a service”, emphasizes Giliarde.
Trends and partnerships that generate value
Among the partnerships signed by Compugraf in recent months, one that stands out in prospecting solutions for the Brazilian cybersecurity market is the association with Proofpoint, a brand that helps organizations around the world, including 75% of Fortune 100 corporations. helps create protections against waves of spam, credential theft and, mostly, phishing attacks, one of the threats that have been growing over the years and deserves attention in 2023.
In addition, attending events and strategic partnerships in Israel, the birthplace of cybersecurity, Compugraf experts highlight, among other trends for 2023, cloud security management, due to the increased use of technology. In 2022 the use of cloud storage applications grew by 35% in companies and 79% admit that they use these services to create, share or store data. The report was made by Netskope, leader in Security Service Edge (SSE), a set of security services that enables a successful SASE (Security Access Service Edge) architecture and that offers a cloud-native protective platform, as well as being one of Compugraf's partners.
Given this scenario, in addition to the vulnerabilities present in these technologies, the cybersecurity company sees the association with Netskope as an opportunity to expand its portfolio, aiming at a more assertive service to customers who use certain platforms as the main means of storing and exchanging information.
