The Nortis Group
With 7 years in the real estate development market, the Nortis Group began its history focused on projects to serve the most prestigious areas of São Paulo, targeting an upper-class audience with exclusivity and innovation. Simultaneously, Vibra Residencial, the group's second company, emerged, focusing more on projects aimed at the lower-income class, within the "Minha Casa Minha Vida" (My House, My Life) program.
A market leader, the group ranks 50th among the top 100 companies in Brazil in its segment, and to keep pace with the company's growth, digital evolution needs to go hand in hand!
In this Success Story, we spoke with Gustavo Tonin, IT Manager at Grupo Nortis, to understand how Skyone's cybersecurity module and the Oracle cloud have improved cybersecurity and systems integration within the group's companies.
The larger the company, the greater the risk of cyberattacks
Today, as a benchmark in the real estate development market, the Nortis group continues its rapid growth. In conversation, Gustavo mentioned that upon arriving to manage the IT department, he realized that the group's cybersecurity solutions had vulnerabilities.
Based on their previous experiences, the best approach to address these vulnerabilities as quickly as possible was to find an antivirus tool that met market needs. Furthermore, the small team made the search for a cutting-edge solution even more urgent. However, there were challenges to overcome, as this was not initially a priority for the group and the budget for this project was limited.
A transparent and secure implementation process, without system downtime
After evaluation with suppliers, Nortis opted to proceed with the EDR solution from Skyone's Cybersecurity Module, and we at Skyone welcomed the project with full attention to ensure that the implementation of a new antivirus would not cause system downtime or blockages.
"It was a smooth implementation; my team, along with the Skyone team, acted responsibly because when we install a new antivirus, there can be system freezes and downtime. We didn't have this type of problem; it was very well implemented and transparent to the end user." – IT Manager of the Nortis Group.
Greater peace of mind with an EDR solution
With the successful implementation, the group now has a cutting-edge cybersecurity solution with artificial intelligence that takes action as needed, increasing barriers against ransomware attacks.
The small staff is no longer a problem, as the partnership with Skyone has given the Nortis Group the peace of mind of having a team specializing in Cybersecurity to take care of the environment – the Skyone Cybersecurity Module team.
“Skyone’s cybersecurity module has brought peace of mind to the area manager! With Artificial Intelligence and cutting-edge technology, there is more peace of mind for those who manage the area.”
Gustavo Tonin – IT Manager at Grupo Nortis.
Lessons from the past and an eye on the future
To conclude our conversation, Gustavo adds that the construction market demands the use of a lot of data to make decisions and explains a little more about previous experiences that were crucial in the search for the EDR ( Environmental Risk Assessment) of Skyone's cybersecurity module.
“I experienced a ransomware attack in the past, and the equipment I had with an AI-powered EDR tool wasn't affected; the equipment without that tool was all affected. For me, this was a turning point. I no longer use basic off-the-shelf tools, and since I joined here, my focus has been on bringing in a cutting-edge tool.” – IT Manager at Grupo Nortis.
