With the acquisition, Sky.One is creating a dedicated security business unit, Sky.Security, comprised of Vublo's experts, a technology platform, and security management services.

Sky.One, a company specializing in the development of technological platforms for the digital evolution of businesses, has just acquired Vublo, a cybersecurity services provider.

With the acquisition, Sky.One launches the Sky.Security business unit and assembles a team that will ensure its startup character and operate in alignment with Sky.One's other platforms, leveraging the company's operational structures and incorporating its portfolio of security services. With this initiative, Sky.One projects that the new division will represent a 10% growth in revenue by the end of 2022. In 2022, the goal is to double its revenue compared to 2021.

According to Sky.One CEO Ricardo Brandão, cybercrime has spread and data theft is a reality in Brazil and worldwide. Therefore, the best way to combat this is through technology and the joint collaboration of all actors involved, in order to maximize prevention, remediation, and data recovery.

Brandão further states that, in addition to complying with LGPD , it is important to have the expertise of specialized professionals and technologies focused on this issue. “We understand the importance of privacy and data protection. In a connected world, no one is exempt from attacks or leaks. It was with this in mind, and in line with the evolution of Digital Transformation, that we decided to acquire Vublo,” he explains.

Successful acquisition

With just over a year in the market, Vublo was created to simplify security operations. Among the services provided by the company are security and access configuration and architecture analysis; identification of critical incidents and cost-effective remediation proposals for companies with small teams and hybrid environments; continuous monitoring (24/7), identification and handling of anomalous behavior and advanced threats; and vulnerability analysis.

According to Vublo's CEO, Carlos Carnevali Jr., the company's growth expectations, together with Sky.One, are promising. “We are excited about this step we have taken in the market. We understand that our services are increasingly essential for organizations, as are their migrations to the cloud . With the acquisition, we want to enhance the offering of our solutions, bringing a complete offering to the market, in addition to supporting Sky.One's current clients,” he emphasizes.

Cloud security

According to Veeam's global research, "Ransomware Trends Report 2022," 72% of organizations worldwide experienced partial or complete attacks on their backup repositories in 2021, drastically impacting their ability to recover data without paying the ransom.

The survey also revealed that 76% of executives had to pay ransom, but in 24% of cases the data was not recovered. And, in 72% of cases, the payment was made with insurance coverage. “Currently, our solutions follow three important pillars of cybersecurity, which are: cloud infrastructure, application vulnerability analysis, and user protection systems,” reveals Brandão.

According to the research, 80% of successful attacks targeted known vulnerabilities, reinforcing the importance of applying patches and updating software. In Brazil, the 1st National BugHunt Information Security Survey was conducted, which surveyed 58 national companies. The study revealed that 15.5% of companies are investing more than R$ 300,000 annually in information security, with the aim of preventing and monitoring attacks that are constantly reinventing and evolving.

Taking this scenario into account and maintaining its focus on its specialty – technological platforms – Sky.Security's portfolio of security solutions consists of a platform, Security Manager, and a range of complementary services.

“The platform brings an essential element to the security of any company: visibility and governance. In a digital and integrated world, companies are increasingly dependent on each other in all aspects of the business – technology, customer service and, more importantly now, security,” explains Carnevali.

Carnevali further comments that, through the Platform, companies will be able to visualize, in real time, the main threats and vulnerabilities to which they are exposed and their level of criticality, allowing them to act with greater precision and agility. In addition, the service portfolio complements the companies' need to address their weaknesses.

“In addition to selling the platform, we have received many requests for LGPD from the perspective of business areas, processes and systems, as well as endpoint protection, perimeter protection, data protection, application and API protection. Now, we will be able to offer the market all these solutions supported by our experts in a managed services model,” concludes Brandão.
