Proxy Company
Innovation to Dominance

For the past 17 years, Proxy Company has not just adapted to technological advancements; it has pioneered them. Renowned for addressing complex IT challenges, it has enhanced productivity and reduced costs, cementing its reputation for innovation and reliability.

This company’s ability to fortify enterprises against cyber threats with its solutions makes it an essential ally in today’s business dynamics. With an advanced suite of cybersecurity tools— including SASE, CASB, and XDR—Proxy Company sets offers comprehensive defenses against IT and OT vulnerabilities.

At the core of Proxy Company’s success is its extensive network of strategic partnerships and a team of top-tier certified experts. This setup revitalizes outdated data centers and fortifies network defenses with the latest firewall technologies. These initiatives ensure the durability and reliability of organizational infrastructure and secure a future-ready stance, allowing for scalable IT environments.

Opening the Gateway to Awareness

Understanding the intricacies clients face, especially in cybersecurity, is central to Proxy Company’s strategy. The challenge that transcends borders—extending beyond Brazil to a global scale—is a pervasive lack of awareness about specific security vulnerabilities among clients. This fundamental gap in understanding often acts as a barrier to adopting effective cybersecurity defenses.

At the outset, the Proxy Company undertakes a thorough assessment phase, evaluating the existing security framework and identifying vulnerabilities—crucial to educating clients about their cybersecurity health.

“It’s essential to fully understand how a client’s security system is functioning—or failing—before we can begin to propose solutions,” states Edvaldo Lopes Silva, CEO of the firm.

Following a comprehensive assessment, Proxy Company customizes its communication, ensuring that clients fully comprehend the complexities of their cybersecurity challenges. This tailored educational approach clarifies the solutions and elucidates why they are necessary, preparing the ground for effective cybersecurity interventions.

Proxy Company fundamentally changes how clients view and address their digital security needs. The firm empowers clients to make informed decisions by filling the knowledge gap and enhancing their overall security posture. Clients are transformed from mere purchasers into well-informed participants in safeguarding their digital environments.

From Local Roots to Global Dominance

Under Silva’s visionary leadership, Proxy Company has transformed from a modest startup to a titan in the global cybersecurity arena. Silva’s journey began at Cisco, where he honed his expertise and established vital industry relationships. These connections proved pivotal when he approached Banco Itaú, South America’s largest bank, proposing cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. This partnership became the cornerstone for Proxy Company’s first significant breakthrough.

Harnessing this early success, Silva propelled Proxy Company into a period of rapid expansion. Within five years, the firm emerged as one of the top ten security solutions providers for Banco Itaú, marking its ascendancy in the cybersecurity sector. Silva’s strategy was clear—leverage robust client relationships to scale operations beyond national borders.

“Proxy Company has dominated the national market and made significant inroads across South America,” says Silva.

The expansion did not stop there. Driven by a mission to address complex cybersecurity challenges, Proxy Company extended its reach to Portugal, the United States, and other parts of Europe. This strategic move was aimed at being closer to their clientele, enhancing service delivery and client satisfaction in these new markets.

The company’s commitment to innovation and robust infrastructure significantly contributed to its reputation as the first choice for cybersecurity projects.

As Proxy Company ventured into international markets, it faced the daunting task of navigating diverse regulatory landscapes and adapting to varied customer demands. Its approach was strategic, focusing intensely on customer-centric innovations. By forging alliances with tech behemoths like IBM, Microsoft, and Palo Alto Networks, Proxy Company enhanced its service offerings and solidified its standing as a trusted name in the global cybersecurity ecosystem.

Its partnerships with industry leaders like Cisco, Akamai, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Check Point Software Technologies have been crucial for Proxy Company to offer tailored solutions that address specific client challenges. Initially unprepared for advanced cybersecurity, many enterprises benefit from the company’s thorough assessments and strategic consultations to address particular problems.

Proxy Company offers tools such as the Guardicore solution from Akamai, with whom it has a partnership. This collaboration allows the firm to comprehensively monitor the client’s networks, tracking on-premises and cloud traffic to identify patterns and interactions. It also provides an advanced dashboard that visualizes this data, helping to position its solutions precisely to address customer issues effectively.

The next step involves deploying solutions in the cloud or an on-premises data center to protect the client’s environment. Initially, Proxy Company conducts a thorough assessment and then deploys tools like Palo Alto firewalls and Akamai’s Guardicore to offer robust protection against east-west and north-south traffic threats. The company’s solutions provide comprehensive protection against potential attacks, whether from its environment or the client’s.

Collaboration with XP Investimentos

Cybersecurity remains a concern in finance, especially for growing financial entities like XP Investimentos in Brazil, exemplifying its status as Brazil’s largest Palo Alto partner. Five years ago, the complex challenge of integrating multiple acquired companies under a single secure umbrella presented itself as a critical mission for Proxy Company, a leader in cybersecurity solutions.

The firm organized XP Investimentos’ infrastructure and implemented effective security solutions. It deployed Palo Alto Networks firewalls, establishing solid protections at the perimeter and in the cloud. XP Investimentos has over 70 firewalls monitored 24/7 by the Proxy Company’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. This project represents the largest Palo Alto deployment in South America. Building on this success, Proxy Company has initiated a similar project with Stone, another major player in the financial services sector.

Proxy Company’s commitment to innovation and security, backed by strategic partnerships and global expansion, defines its leading edge in the cybersecurity industry. As it continues to fortify businesses across the globe, Proxy Company’s growth from a startup to a titan in the global cybersecurity arena will be a tale of inspiration for many entrepreneurs across borders. Proxy Company is the go-to choice for clients seeking complex cybersecurity projects and robust infrastructure. It serves numerous financial institutions, including traditional banks as ITAU and Santander as prominent digital banks and payment solutions such as XP Investimentos and Stone.
