CHALLENGES
As Tondo expanded, the complexity of their threat landscape grew. Increased cyberattacks and the need for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance led Tondo to reassess their security policies. The primary challenge was safeguarding a vast digital environment while maintaining operational efficiency with a small security team. The company needed a robust solution to address these evolving threats and ensure comprehensive protection across their digital assets. Additionally, Tondo had to manage the risk of unsolicited emails and malware, knowing that the human element often represents the weakest link in the security chain. This required a strategic approach to bolster their defenses effectively.
The continuous attack surface discovery and real-time threat awareness have greatly improved our cybersecurity posture and compliance.

WHY TREND
Tondo’s 18-year partnership with Trend has been crucial to their strategy. The cybersecurity leader’s robust, user-friendly solutions provide the comprehensive protection Tondo needs. IT Coordinator João Luiz Roth emphasizes their commitment to minimizing damage from potential cyberattacks through proactive measures. “We are obsessed with security. We know that no matter what we do, it will not prevent us from being the target of attacks of all kinds,” he says. “But we are doing our best to have the least possible damage.”
SOLUTION
To tackle their cybersecurity challenges, Tondo implemented the Trend Vision One platform with endpoint detection and response (EDR) and extended detection and response (XDR) integration. By strengthening their security tools, Tondo has eased the workload for their small team.
IT Analyst Fabrício Lacerda notes, “Trend’s platform is robust and complex, but it’s not difficult to use. The analyses are clear and intuitive.” Key solutions included Trend Vision One – Attack Surface Risk Management (ASRM) for hybrid environments, Trend Vision One – Endpoint Security (Essentials) for workstations, and Trend Vision One – Email and Collaboration Security for Microsoft 365. In total, 450 machines at Tondo utilize Trend tools, ensuring comprehensive protection and streamlined security operations.
RESULTS
Trend Vision One integrates multiple security layers, automating threat detection and reducing complexity. Continuous discovery of the attack surface and realtime threat awareness minimizes blind spots and exposure for Tondo’s team. Enhanced email and file flow control mitigate email risks. “We had a lot of spam and attempted email scams and that was one of our biggest concerns,” says Lacerda. Comprehensive risk assessment and attack mapping across network layers, servers, Microsoft 365, and endpoints streamline operations and reporting. Integration with leading XDR solutions and extensive third-party support further helps the team enhance operational efficiency. The platform’s evolution ensures long-term value, with defined KPIs and detailed reporting enhancing risk communication. Tondo’s partnership with Trend has prevented ransomware attacks and data-loss incidents, boosting cybersecurity maturity while demonstrating a significant return on investment.

Tondo’s partnership with Trend strengthened their cybersecurity posture. Looking forward, Tondo plans to leverage Trend’s advanced set of solutions to stay ahead of emerging threats and further enhance their cybersecurity resilience. They aim to continue evolving their security strategies, maintaining a proactive stance in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
