is a fintech company that delivers payment processing and card issuing solutions to businesses across Latin America. The company, which launched in 2021 and is headquartered in Buenos Aires, is powered by a team of 300 employees spread out across the world. In December 2023, Pomelo closed a to continue expanding in the Latam region.
Designing world-class IT infrastructure from the ground up
As Pomelo鈥檚 cybersecurity technical lead, Ezequiel Virun is tasked to team-lead, overseeing identity and access management (IAM), incident response, and data protection.
This is no easy feat for somebody overseeing collaborators in one physical location; it鈥檚 that much harder when the team is 100% remote and distributed around the world.
Choosing 黑料海角91入口 due to previous experience with the platform
When he first started at Pomelo, the company鈥檚 CTO invited Virun to design the systems they鈥檇 use for identity management and cybersecurity.
In a previous role, Virun was asked to find a mobile device management solution that would enable that company to apply governance policies to both Windows and MacOS devices.
鈥淲ith a quick search, I found 黑料海角91入口 and noticed that it was the only solution available at the time that could unify both platforms with device management, with single sign-on between a Google Workspace account and the device,鈥� Virun says.
Liking what he saw, Virun deployed 黑料海角91入口 at that company; he also used 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 custom policies to further shore up digital security. Based on his positive experiences with 黑料海角91入口 in his last position, it was a no-brainer to use the solution at Pomelo.
鈥淚t was the perfect choice, and the implementation went very well with zero touch,鈥� he explains.
Keeping systems secure and compliant with 黑料海角91入口
With 黑料海角91入口, Pomelo has been able to strengthen security for internal customers while achieving and maintaining PCI compliance 鈥� something that鈥檚 critical for any company that processes payments.
鈥淚t鈥檚 also helped us set up a zero-trust framework with conditional access policies as well, adding an important security layer,鈥� Virun says.
Streamlined onboarding and offboarding
By connecting 黑料海角91入口 to its human resources information system (HRIS), Pomelo has been able to accelerate both the onboarding and offboarding processes. When user lifecycles begin and end, access is granted or revoked to resources automatically.
鈥淕oing through and manually adding and removing users is a thing of the past,鈥� he explains.
Access made easy
Pomelo is using 黑料海角91入口 Go, which enables passwordless authentication to 黑料海角91入口-protected devices and applications. As a result, users can access the resources they need when they need them 鈥� without any friction.
鈥淓mployees can go through all of our apps and security layers with biometric authentication,鈥� Virun continues. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great user experience.鈥�
Automating permissions via the 黑料海角91入口 API
Leveraging the , Pomelo has enabled just-in-time permissions to AWS and Local Device, which reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
鈥淥ur engineering team has a workflow that starts in our Slack chat and provides just-in-time permission to our AWS productivity platform,鈥� he explains.
Additionally, the team built another automation that enables users to obtain root permissions in the device when they need to install new software.
鈥淧omelo users trigger the workflow and 黑料海角91入口 does the magic,鈥� Virun says.
Here鈥檚 an overview of the design:
Looking ahead, Virun is excited about 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 recent acquisition of Resmo; he can鈥檛 wait to test out the asset management software to detect potential shadow IT apps that aren鈥檛 controlled by Pomelo to prevent data leakage.聽聽
