Case Study | Faster decision making with AI for Móveis Itatiaia

With more than 50 years in the market, Móveis Itatiaia is one of the leading companies in its
sector. It is the largest kitchen manufacturer in Brazil, with approximately 1200 direct employees,
and exports its products to South America, Central America and Africa. In 2014, it moved its
administrative headquarters to Belo Horizonte (MG) and has two modern industrial parks, one inUbá and the other in Sooretama. Their monthly production capacity is 600,000 kitchens, 9,000
cooktops and 21,000 stoves.
To facilitate consumers' access to the kitchen of their dreams, Itatiaia has representatives
throughout Brazil, with 6,100 customers, who resell the products at 18,500 distribution points allover Brazil.

Less false alarms, more efficiency
Brazilian kitchen manufacturer Móveis Itatiaia needed a moreefficient security system with fewer false alarms, the ability tomonitor the security of remote workers, and protection for thecompany’s legacy machines. A suite of WithSecure solutions
provided the increased efficiency and protection they needed,while greatly reducing the false alarms that had impaired thecompany’s productivity.
Before Móveis Itatiaia decided to implement WithSecure, thecompany’s security system had two main problems: it wascomposed of two separate solutions that didn’t interact witheach other at all, and it produced too many false positives. The
excessive number of false positives took time away from otherprojects, so the existing security solutions were inefficient.
According to Jeovane Monteiro Guimarães, IT Supervisor atMóveis Itatiaia: “Before, we had an endpoint antivirus solution
and a SIEM solution. They were separate solutions and there
was no interaction between them. Managing these two solutions was time consuming and there was an excess of false
alarms. The vulnerability scanner was not assertive due to theexcess of false positives and there was also no managementof security updates.”“ Before, we had an endpoint antivirus solution

In addition, the company needed a solution that would offerprotection for their legacy machines. Many of the devices intheir factories still run legacy applications, and commercial
protection options were limited for those older applications.
Móveis Itatiaia needed a security system that was fully
integrated and efficient, that didn’t produce large numbersof false alarms, and that could effectively protect theirlegacy machines.

Easier analysis and decision making
Móveis Itatiaia studied a number of solutions available on themarket and concluded that a suite of solutions from WithSecure was their best choice. They decided to install a complete
SNOC Suite from WithSecure Managed Service Provider
partner Brasiline, including the Endpoint and WithSecure
Elements Endpoint Detection and Response Module, WithSecure Elements Vulnerability Management, NOC Datacenter, Perimeter Monitoring, SMTP Gateway, and Brasiline
360 Management.
Brasiline's SNOC (Security & Network Operation Center)
consists of information security, network engineering, analysis,
and research experts who monitor MI’s network environ-ment continuously on a 24/7 basis, allowing the company torespond rapidly to any cyber security threat.
Ticket generation for critical safety events is automated,providing gains in both time and productivity. The suite they
selected provides the company with simple, effective updates
as well as management of endpoints and vulnerabilities in asingle console.
According to Jeovane Monteiro Guimarães, “Among thestudied solutions, we saw that WithSecure was among themajor players in the market and also offered one of the few
solutions that still had support for our legacymachines. As we are an industry that still has many legacy
applications in factories, this was also essential. We chose
WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response
and WithSecure Elements Vulnerability Management over
the other SIEM solution because its Machine Learning based
application behavior detection system drastically reduced theamount of false alarms and presented the alerts in a way thatmade analysis and decision making much easier. End-point
protection added the software update management functionthat I didn't have before, in addition to having a more friendly
and intuitive interface.”“ We chose WithSecure Elements Endpoint

Protection and peace of mind
Móveis Itatiaia found that WithSecure and Brasiline were able
to meet its needs. In the words of Jeovane Monteiro Guimarães: “I was able to protect our legacy machines, which was agreat need we had. I was also able to monitor the computers ofemployees from outside the company and ensure that they arerunning only approved applications and accessing only thosesites that are in accordance with company policies. The workwith BRASILINE has been excellent, they are always helpful inactivities, support and deliveries.”
The ability to monitor offsite employees was a big advantage
for Móveis Itatiaia. One of their biggest security concerns was
the use of laptops by external sales teams. With customer andproduct information stored on laptops, these teams are potentially a serious point of vulnerability for the company.
Another concern was the use of VPNs on potentially unsecured devices by employees working remotely due tothe pandemic.
According to IT Coordinator Talita Ribeiro , “The pandemic has
accelerated the home office issue because people have nooption, they have to work… As Jeovane said, we heard aboutcompanies much larger than Itatiaia that have been attacked

4and this worries us – we want to protect both the VPN andthe e-commerce.”
WithSecure made it possible for Móveis Itatiaia to monitor
employee use of laptops, ensuring that remote workers
were fully protected. All updates for Móveis Itatiaia are now
managed by the WithSecure solution, including updates forremote employees.
Protection of legacy machines was also a primary concern
for the company. WithSecure made some modifications to its
base solution to protect the customer’s legacy devices, resolving this problem for Móveis Itatiaia. As Jeovane Monteiro
Guimarães says, “This protection for the legacy machines
brought us peace of mind.”employee use of laptops, ensuring that remote workers were fully protected. All updates for

Expanding security measureswith WithSecurecompany will soon be expanding the number of licenses it
contracts for.

Before switching to WithSecure, the company had issues withproductivity due to the way their old security system was setup. The system generated a lot of false positives, all of which
had to be analyzed. In addition, the solution did not include
patch management. Those issues have all been resolved withthe suite of WithSecure solutions they ordered from Brasiline,
and they were also able to get effective protection for theirlegacy devices.

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response
solution provided Móveis Itatiaia with the security they need.
According to Jeovane Monteiro Guimarães: “I consider
WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response aspectacular tool. During this deployment we used a software
to measure the productivity of the personnel that were working
from home. They were connected to the VPN and I was runninga portable tool to install remote items; I watched the person
enter the VPN... and the WithSecure Elements EndpointDetection and Response complained immediately. It’s incredible, spectacular. So, today the biggest champion of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Detection and Response is me.”Móveis Itatiaia is so pleased with their choice of WithSecure that they are already planning to expand its use within
the company. Jeovane Monteiro Guimarães reports that the“ The pandemic has accelerated the homeoffice issue because people have nooption, they have to work…we heard
about companies much larger thanItatiaia that have been attacked and thisworries us – we want to protect both theVPN and the e-commerce.”
