Banco Digimais Uses Cirion’s Platform for Cost Optimization and AWS Cloud Management
By hiring Cirion’s solutions, the banking entity has increased its cloud environment with scalability and innovation, and optimized cost reduction.
São Paulo, August 22, 2023 Cloud cost management and security platforms are essential tools for businesses digital transformation efforts. If IT structure migration to the cloud were the main challenges to provide more agility and integration in the past, visibility and cost management have become a differential for business expansion.
Because of their business growth Banco Digimais decided to incorporate Cirions Cloud Analytics services to manage cost and security of their infrastructure and to optimize AWS cloud spend. Cloud Analytics is a SaaS (Software as a Service) type product, which provides high visibility level over service consumption in public clouds made by their customers, thus delivering the necessary information to optimize costs and raise security in order to assure higher compliance in said dynamic and diverse environments.
Cloud Analytics implementation brought tangible benefits for Banco Digimais. We chose Cirion based on the utmost trust relationship with this partner regarding delivery of the necessary solutions for our business. Seamless monitoring and assessments allowed us to reduce costs by around 40% by applying their recommendations to optimize the environment, highlights Fausto Andre Luiz, Infrastructure Manager at Banco Digimais.
Cloud Analytics solution made available by Cirion allows enhanced visualization and cost control. The solution generates daily, weekly and monthly consumption reports, alerts, forecasts while preparing budgets, which allow you to see how much you are spending on each service. In addition it offers savings suggestions, among other remarks. Together with Cirion’s cloud operation, it enables cloud cost monitoring allowing budget optimization and resource management.
With daily operations and critical processes, banking entities need quick responses and solutions as well as support to provide ongoing evolution for said processes. This is another significant differential for Banco Digimais, says Fausto Andre Luiz. We need a partner capable of understanding our business needs and providing security and efficiency to our operations.
For the executive, the cloud environment growth with scalability, innovation and a strong FinOps policy is the greatest benefit brought by the implementation of the solutions contracted with Cirion. These solutions help us enhance our efficiency since they provide great visibility into the environment, thus allowing us to act directly on infringers. In addition, the benefits of partnering with AWS resulted in greater efficiency, enhanced performance and better use of cloud resources, contributing to the evolution of our operations, he concludes.

Elections 2022: Internet Providers Deliver Digital Infrastructure
Cirion Technologies was one of the ISPs providing internet connectivity, SD-WAN, and cybersecurity solutions
São Paulo, December 15, 2022 – The second ballot of 2022 Elections totaled more than 124MM people going to the polls, as reported by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE -for its acronym in Portuguese-) According to the Federal Justice body, Brazil is the fourth largest democracy and owns the major computerized election worldwide, since all voting is done through electronic ballot boxes. This makes our country a world benchmark in electoral security.
This voting mechanism has existed for more than 25 years and was fully computerized in 2000, when all Brazilian municipalities began to use electronic ballot boxes during elections, according to the TSE.
During the voting period, the ballot box operates in isolation and without any connection to data networks, however, after the counting closes, connectivity and security technologies are necessary to guarantee the aggregate results are conveyed.
The technological breakthroughs raised the need of creating solutions meant to guarantee information integrity and security in this verification process, mainly for fraud and cyberattacks prevention. These technologies are available through internet providers, who work to fight and minimize potential risks. Cirion Technologies, leading digital infrastructure and technology provider, was one of the companies working in tandem with the Regional Electoral Courts (TRE) and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to guarantee security of elections in the Federal District and other States: Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo.
During the first and second rounds, Cirion focused on network security, Internet and SD-WAN solutions, thereby enabling data transmission and long-distance network management.
“To guarantee the voting process security and combat any type of potential threat online, our security and network team created an action plan to monitor and act immediately, in the event of contingencies, several days before the election,” said Danilo Cereza, Sales Director in Cirion Brazil.
According to a Black Lotus Labs report, Telecommunications, Software and Technology, and Government were the most affected terminals by cyberattacks. This implies that internet evolution not only calls for more data protection. The providers role to fight against potential threats, primarily upon situations like a presidential election is as well highlighted.
This is why being prepared to combat any risk immediately becomes essential. During the elections, Cirion experts conducted a thorough monitoring and follow-up, to increase security of the process and, fortunately, there were no contingencies, continued the executive.
Cirion was also responsible for providing connectivity to the worldwide web. Initially, 2 Gbps accesses were available, however a 10 Gbps upgrade was made in advance to the first electoral round, because of the large volume of access to the services provided by the TSE. According to the TSE, the internet speed allowed voters to know which candidates were elected within 3 hours further to the close of voting. In countries where voting is still on paper, total vote counting can take days before results are released.
