Case Study: SEFAZ/MS achieves protection of public funds and statewide IT security for 2.5 million citizens with Kaspersky Lab

Protecting public funds for 2.5 million citizens

SEFAZ/MS, the Office of the Secretary of State for Finance of Mato Grosso do Sul, protects financial and taxpayer data for 2.5 million citizens across 122 offices and a large remote workforce. Faced with dispersed operations, heavy reliance on mobile devices and the need to secure valuable confidential information while keeping administration simple and scalable, SEFAZ/MS selected Kaspersky Lab’s Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced to meet its technical and safety requirements.

Kaspersky Lab deployed a multi-layer protection environment covering around 9,500 workstations and more than 500 servers, with dedicated on-site support and 24/7 back‑office assistance from Kaspersky Lab and its local partner. Automated vulnerability scanning, patch distribution and centralized management reduced administration time and risk exposure, giving SEFAZ/MS granular threat reporting and stronger control — freeing resources to invest in essential public services.
