Case Study: Santillana achieves unified, proactive protection for employees and learners with Check Point Software

Santillana Latam Safeguards Its Employees and Learners With Unified Security Management

Santillana Latam, a leading K‑12 education publisher serving 5.5 million users across Latin America, needed to protect vast amounts of sensitive student and employee data across a distributed IT estate—2,200 servers and 6,500 workstations—after migrating services to Azure and AWS. With a small security team, the company required a single, standardized control point for network, endpoint and multi‑cloud security to ensure high protection for users (many of them children) and simplify administration and monitoring.

Santillana implemented Check Point Infinity (Quantum firewalls, CloudGuard and Harmony) to unify policy, automate threat prevention and perform rapid, agentless cloud posture assessments and remediation. The deployment delivered faster visibility and response, blocked CEO‑impersonation and malicious‑app attacks, enabled two‑click cloud VM risk checks and quick Office 365 email protection—significantly reducing exposure and improving the team’s ability to prevent and manage threats.
