You’ve been asked a simple question: “What does it cost to host this application?” But the answer is anything but simple. The platform sits across multiple data centres. The app spans a few VMs, shares a backup system, uses licensed monitoring, and touches five different teams. Your CMDB should help, but it’s rigid, outdated, or incomplete. And yet, you still need to provide a number, clear, explainable, and grounded in reality.

IT w warunkach ostrego kryzysu: jak utrzymać ciągłość działania Rozległy kryzys lub konflikt zbrojny wymaga od IT innego spojrzenia na architekturę. Kluczowe staje się przemyślane rozmieszczenie danych, właściwy balans między chmurą a infrastrukturą własną oraz utrzymanie pracy systemów strategicznych w zmiennych warunkach. Trzeba zapewnić dostępność usług mimo zerwanych łańcuchów dostaw, ograniczonej łączności czy zagrożeń dla centrów danych. W oparciu o doświadczenia Banku Millenium Artur Kurcweil pokaże, jak strategia ciągłości łączy nowe wyzwania z wnioskami z utrzymania pracy banków na Ukrainie po wybuchu wojny.

Read MoreSemantix Partners delivers actionable intelligence and solutions to IT Sector
Under the leadership of Enio Moraes, DPO and CISO, Semantix leverages AI to further enhance data security and governance capabilities. The company’s continuous improvement in these areas to ensure the protection and growth of the company’s valuable data.
OVERVIEW
Founded in 2010, Semantix has been developing technologies and solutions for data management and intelligence, with projects that include big data, cloud, IoT (the internet of things), and quantum computing. With a presence across South America, Semantix has partnered with the best and most innovative companies in the IT sector.
Leading the digital expansion is Enio Moraes, DPO and CISO of Semantix. With more than 10 years in the IT field working in project management, information security (IS), and privacy management, Moraes joined Semantix to help defend and expand the company’s large databases using artificial intelligence (AI).
"We are already at a very good level of IS and data management, but these are areas where we cannot rest. We must always be improving and increasing."
Enio Moraes - DPO and CISO, Semantix
Semantix required greater visibility into their cloud operations and a better method to build and defend applications. With the increasing volume and complexity of operations, these silos led to vulnerabilities and potential security breaches; a critical concern for a data-focused company, especially in the GDPR era.
This led Moraes and his team to search the market for a solution that would bring visibility and actionable intelligence without impacting Semantix’s high performance or harming the dynamics of business operations. “We are already at a very good level of IS and data management, but these are areas where we cannot rest. We must always be improving and increasing”, says Moraes.
After a meeting with Trend Micro experts, Moraes and his team chose Trend Micro Cloud One – Conformity and Trend Micro – Open Source Security by Snyk. This provided Semantix with a greater clarity to their operations within the cloud—including important data on client location and availability zones—making it possible to design a better cloud strategy for their services and operations.
In addition, Moraes was provided with the ability to prioritize alerts, alleviating alert overload that could hamper his team’s responsiveness to the most critical threats.
SOLUTION
Trend Micro solutions provided immediate results that benefitted day-to-day operations, both in terms of security and risk reduction in the cloud as well as overall cost savings. In addition, Semantix improved operation in its code, guaranteeing a safe development of its applications, both in projects and in products.
RESULTS
With the help of Trend Micro, Semantix now has a 24/7 operations center with a team of more than 30 people. Through Trend Micro’s portfolio, Semantix has bots simulating and performing various tests on all operations and cloud accounts. This means that, when configuration inconsistencies arise or suspicious elements are identified, the team receives an alert and can act proactively and instantly.
WHAT'S NEXT
Due to his positive partnership with Trend Micro, Moraes sees a potential to integrate products used by the Semantix Data Platform with Trend Micro’s 30+ years of security intelligence. “For the future of this partnership, we increasingly need to leverage our product with AI, IS, and code improvement”, says Moraes.
With an increasingly digital and connected future ahead, Semantix is forecasting that their solutions will gain even more relevance and will look to Trend Micro to guarantee safe and consistent operations.

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.
The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
