Case Study: Leading 2nd Biggest Payroll Database Company reduces unauthorized access by over 97% with Segura

Brazilian Gov Data Processor reduced over 97% of unauthorized access

Leading 2nd Biggest Payroll Database Company, a multi-region Brazilian government data processor with three large data centers and 6K+ devices holding payroll data for 90 million citizens, faced fixed local passwords, indiscriminate privileged access, no session recording and widespread shared secrets that eliminated accountability. Segura was engaged to deploy a privileged access management solution using senhasegura’s cluster security gateway with multi-factor authentication (hardware certificate tokens) and privileged session recording.

Segura isolated device access via a secure gateway (HA/DR), enforced MFA and automated password rotation, recorded 300+ privileged sessions per day, and integrated real‑time user behavior into IBM SIEM and the ITSM tool for alerting. The deployment delivered measurable impact: +96% reduction in local static passwords, 1.1K users lost direct infrastructure access, and the customer eliminated more than 97% of unauthorized access.
