Cybersecurity approach

Alignet partnered with Wazuh in July, 2019. Their main objective was to achieve their PCI DSS compliance needs to ensure alliances with partners like Visa International and Master-Card Global, and becoming one of the best, safest and most innovative Payment Providers in Latin America.

With the leadership of Jorge Temoche, the Chief Information Security Officer at Alignet, and the company’s interest in constant innovation, they decided to go beyond that, pursuing a more complete and efficient use of Wazuh to take advantage of all their valuable capabilities and work on some opportunities of improvement in the Security Department.

Event correlation and real-time visualization of alerts, ensuring that the information is refined and useful for decisión making, set up and customization of dashboards for easy-access information, PCI DSS compliance and automation of alerts and responses are among the main topics they currently work on to reduce manual work as much as possible and focus on other strategic matters.
