Being at the forefront of technological advancement is key to Grupo Corripio’s enduring
success. But in the face of rapid digital transformation, the company’s love of innovation, combined with its ever-increasing global reach, brought new and significant security
threats.
New platforms, new ways of working, and a new wave of cyber criminals with a knack forstaying ahead of the game had created a perfect storm and meant Grupo Corripio
needed to act fast.
Grupo Corripio’s leadership saw companies across the industry suffer from interruptions
to operational, commercial, and service activities as a result of cyber attacks and thesignificant reputational damage and loss of business that comes with it.
Facing increasingly sophisticated attacks, the group wanted to update its cyber security
defenses so that they were strong and extensible to match the group’s size and future
growth targets.
Grupo Corripio needed a robust, scalable solution to protect its network of over 2,000
endpoints and 300 servers, dispersed across numerous locations and two data centers
in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Furthermore, the company wanted its in-house teams to be able to run all its security
operations, as well as mitigate and respond to cyber attacks. It needed a strategic
vendor with the ability to provide the required solution alongside the best support andexpertise for the entire group.

Prior to this project, a number of Grupo Corripio’s entities had already worked with
Kaspersky – albeit on a smaller scale, but with fantastic results, so the two companies
were already well acquainted.
