Overview

A Journey to Advanced Cybersecurity

The Judiciary of the Province of Corrientes, a key institution with over 3,500 employees, has a critical mission: ensuring justice and social peace. In a digital environment where data protection and confidentiality are paramount, the organization recognized the need to move beyond basic standards. The challenge was clear: to elevate its cybersecurity maturity to protect critical assets, safeguard sensitive information, and ensure service continuity in an evolving threat landscape.

The Challenge: The Urgency to Protect the Most Valuable Assets

A landscape of rising risks and the need for public trust.

The Corrientes Judiciary operates with highly sensitive data, making any disruption or data leak a threat not only to its operations but to the public's trust. Before our intervention, they faced critical pain points:

• Vulnerability to attacks: A dynamic tech ecosystem made it difficult to manage vulnerabilities and protect against threats like phishing and infiltration.

• Risk of disruption: A potential security breach could paralyze judicial services, affecting core operations and access to justice for citizens.

• Lack of a security culture: Human errors, such as falling for phishing scams, represented a critical entry point for cyberattacks.

• Limited risk visibility: The organization lacked a clear map of its critical assets and risk exposure, which hindered strategic decision-making.

The Solution

From Reactivity to Proactive Excellence

In collaboration with our team of cybersecurity consulting experts, the Judiciary implemented a strategy aligned with the six functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF): Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, and Govern. Key actions included:

• Zero Trust Architecture: We implemented a security model based on zero trust principles to protect critical assets from the inside out.

• Vulnerability Analysis: We conducted a continuous analysis of the infrastructure, allowing us to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they could be exploited.

• Awareness and Training: We launched phishing simulation campaigns and training programs to strengthen the employees' security culture.

• Incident Response Plans: We developed robust response and recovery protocols, ensuring operational resilience and service continuity.

Key Outcomes

Tangible Impact and Recognized Leadership

The implementation of these solutions not only mitigated risks but also generated measurable results that positioned the Corrientes Judiciary as a benchmark in its sector.

• Risk Reduction: We achieved a significant reduction in incident exposure by closing critical system vulnerabilities.

• Sector Leadership: The organization became a role model for other public institutions, standing out for its Zero Trust network architecture and proactive approach to security.

• Strengthened Citizen Trust: Citizens now have greater confidence in the security of digital judicial services, which improves the perception of accessibility and reliability.

• Fortified Security Culture: The team showed a lower click-through rate in phishing simulations, demonstrating a positive change in security behavior.

• Optimized Resources: Decision-making became more strategic, allowing for the prioritization of security investments based on detailed risk analysis.
