SUCCESS STORY
Sebrae
Sebrae didn't just deploy Tanium. It made the platform central to protecting 21 million small businesses across a continent-sized country, moving from nine days of national downtime and R$19 million lost per day, to real-time visibility across all 27 states. That's what happens when total asset visibility becomes the foundation for every security decision. Sebrae proved it — and now Brazil's small-business institution can contain a threat instead of stopping the country's entrepreneurs.
Stats to prove it
Sebrae is Brazil's public-interest institution for micro and small businesses, serving 21 million entrepreneurs through roughly 8,000 employees and more than 30,000 third-party partners across 27 states. Before Tanium, a ransomware attack halted Sebrae for nearly nine days because IT teams lacked the visibility to identify and isolate the systems and endpoints that were actually affected, turning a single infection into a nationwide shutdown.
National downtime before deploying Tanium — now with the ability to contain affected units at machine speed
Undelivered investment at stake for every day Sebrae is dark
To produce board-level compliance evidence, once months of work
Managed on one unified platform with real-time data from headquarters to interior
Key takeaways
Total visibility across a continent-sized estate turns endpoint data into surgical containment. Instead of shutting down the whole environment, Sebrae isolates affected units, keeps unaffected states online, and proves compliance to regulators and their board on demand.
One platform, one dataset
IT operations and security work from the same live endpoint data, replacing manual reconciliation across separate inventory, patch, and security tools.
Surgical containment, not shutdown
Targeting and remediation happen where the data lives, so one infected unit no longer forces a nationwide shutdown of the whole environment.
Compliance evidence in minutes
LGPD and board-level compliance reports that once took months of manual consolidation are now generated the same day a regulator or executive asks.
Tanium transforms visibility into trust. That trust carries straight through to the business side that serves our customer.
