How Brazilian full-service law firm Lefosse adopted a comprehensive cloud solution for sensitive data and processes.
The legal sector struggles with rigorous compliance and auditing processes while creating, managing and sharing a huge amount of highly confidential data from employees, partners and suppliers who access the network via multiple devices from numerous locations.
As part of a security-based digital transformation initiative, Brazilian full-service law firm Lefosse was looking for more agility and mobility to support auditing processes, risk assessment and granular control of access and data – all without affecting the user experience.
With a hybrid, multi-cloud environment, the Lefosse IT team needed to connect users remotely quickly and securely, as if they were working in an on-premises environment, with the flexibility to monitor and manage granular access while meeting business needs.
Lefosse chose Netskope NewEdge – pitched as the world’s largest high-performance private security cloud.
In addition to adopting the cloud, the company applies Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Next Gen Secure Web Gateway (NG SWG) to its networks – essential components to complement a SASE cybersecurity architecture.
“Netskope has brought more agility and flexibility to our operations. We can now use 100% of the potential of our tools to connect different applications and systems, with the scalability to expand the IT environment according to our business needs,” said Robson Pedrosa, Information Technology Director, Lefosse
By adopting the Netskope solution, Lefosse detected a reduction of more than 80% in latency in each application, ensuring greater stability and speed in remote connections.
In addition, with specific requirements for continuous audits, due to the sensitivity of data in the legal sector, the IT team reduced the time spent sharing evidence to complete these processes.
The visibility gained through Netskope’s dashboard makes everything much simpler for the cybersecurity management team, led by 9net, Netskope’s partner in Brazil. This visibility shows customers the real value of their investment in a transparent way, because with just one click they can see and understand what Netskope is protecting and how it is protecting their data and systems.
“We are focused on continuing the process of digital transformation to keep up with market needs and trends, as well as the particularities of the sector. Expanding this project with Netskope and 9net is among our plans for the near future,” said Pedrosa,
