Sicredi, one of Brazil’s largest financial institutions, has deepened its 12-year partnership with Skyhigh Security by adopting the company’s hybrid Security Service Edge (SSE) solution. This move modernizes Sicredi’s security posture to support accelerated AI adoption, a growing hybrid workforce, rising network demands, stricter compliance, and real-time protection against risky AI engines.
Sicredi’s legacy on-premises setup struggled to keep pace with surging branch bandwidth, AI-driven use cases, and the demands of a distributed workforce. Scaling central infrastructure would have required unsustainable costs, prompting a shift to a hybrid architecture that delivers both operational agility and robust security.
Skyhigh Security’s platform provides comprehensive visibility and control over users, devices, applications, and sensitive data across diverse environments. By integrating advanced capabilities—including real-time intent analysis, adaptive policy enforcement, and AI-specific controls—Sicredi can safely embrace generative AI while mitigating risks such as unauthorized data exposure or malicious agent interactions.
The deployment has delivered measurable improvements: operational resilience to handle high daily data log volumes, automatic isolation of unknown traffic, unified policy enforcement for faster deployments, rapid incident resolution, and intelligent blocking of policy violations on platforms like LinkedIn. AI-ready features restrict high-risk public AI tools and enforce managed-device policies, aligning security with innovation goals.
“With branch bandwidth surging and AI adoption accelerating, relying solely on our on-premises environment no longer made sense,” said Gustavo Junges, Information Security Specialist at Sicredi. “Scaling the central infrastructure would have required unsustainable investments. Instead, we chose to shift toward a hybrid architecture that could deliver both flexibility and efficiency, while supporting our increasing need for AI-aware policies and real-time blocking of high-risk AI engines.”
“Complex business and security concerns, especially those introduced by GenAI, make business-driven data security challenging,” according to Gartner analyst Andrew Bales. In his research report, Security Leader’s Guide to Data Security in the Age of AI, he states, “Gartner expects that by 2026, 75% of organizations running generative AI (GenAI) initiatives will reprioritize their data security efforts, shifting their spending from structured data security initiatives to unstructured data security initiatives.”
“We are proud to continue and expand this partnership with Sicredi, a company that is deeply dedicated to protecting its members, employees, and sensitive data,” said Sanjay Castelino, President, Skyhigh Security. “With Skyhigh Security’s platform, Sicredi reaps the benefits of a hybrid security environment, empowering them to scale safely and maintain compliance while embracing innovation.”
This collaboration underscores the strategic value of hybrid security architectures in regulated sectors, enabling organizations to protect data holistically while supporting emerging technologies like AI without compromising performance or compliance.
