PAPOFÁCIL: Nalbatech bugScout Identifying and correcting insecure code

And this week we had the participation of our CEO Francisco Bernabeu in Flavio Xandó’s easy chat channel, where he reported that the rule is to find applications containing many security holes. To resolve this, bugScout can evaluate source code in a static or dynamic way (with the application running) to eliminate the vulnerabilities. It tells the case of a company that was going to put into production a system with more than 1700 risk areas.

To better take advantage of technology, managed services

In an Ping-Pong interview for IT Portal, our CEO Francisco Bernabeu, spoke about managed services.

With 35 years in the technology market, Francisco Bernabeu leads NalbaTech, a company that was born 5 years ago to offer technological solutions with high added value. The company’s focus is on offering managed services, which, in the executive’s evaluation, facilitates the implementation, execution, support and updating of versions, freeing the teams of the user companies for their final activities.

“All technologies, as long as they are in creative business models, such as managed services, are much more likely to succeed,” he says. “Today, companies have lean teams and little capacity to manage a multitude of services and technologies. Our idea is to be the support point for organizations to overcome this challenge ”.

The company recently acquired the bugScout platform, created by the Spanish company Buguroo Offensive Security, of which it has been a partner for more than 4 years to offer, implement and support the security risk detection solution throughout the life cycle of software applications. With this deal, the company strengthened its offer of managed services, a portfolio that includes other products: Innoware (which allows execution and integration of processes in SAP), Zadara Storage (data storage) and Tibero (database manager) . All solutions provided as a service and managed.

The company’s expectation is to earn R $ 20 million in the next 3 years. To this end, it is investing EUR 1.5 million in improving services and training technical and sales teams.

IT Portal – You touched on a key issue for our Ping Pong: staff training. What is your assessment of Brazil in this area?

Francisco Bernabeu – Companies are looking for ready professionals. This does not actually work. Regardless of the training of professionals, you need to adapt and train according to the company’s profile. There are no ready professionals, regardless of the person’s country of origin or the country where he graduated.

IT Portal – How does NalbaTech promote the training of its teams?

Francisco Bernabeu – Our employees constantly perform their tasks internally, for example, before installing a bugscout appliance, our technicians are guided to test at home, that is, here at Nalbatech. This causes errors to be minimized at the end customer. Another important point is to bring software engineers from the manufacturer itself to Brazil, to work together with our employees and thus absorb their knowledge.

IT Portal – The IT market demands a lot from people. How is Francisco Bernabeu out of the workplace?

Francisco Bernabeu – I’m in love with Harley Davidson. I bought my first motorcycle at the age of 50 and it was simply a lifestyle and not the acquisition of a product. I realized a dream that was to buy a Harley to travel and live with great friends. I am currently part of the H.O.G. from Harley Davidson.

IT Portal – If you could change the world, what would you change?

Francisco Bernabeu – A world made by friendships and without interests. Free from violence.

IT Portal – mounted on a Harley Davidson, I imagine.

Francisco Bernabeu – definitely yes

Sabesp adopts Innowera with Nalbatech

Sabesp, one of the largest basic sanitation companies in the world, hired NalbaTech with the objective of promoting improvements in data management in SAP ERP. For the project, the Innowera platform was implemented, designed to map, update and integrate data from different sources.

Sabesp’s objective was to have a comprehensive solution to make improvements and new features in data management in ERP without the need for major investments in development and customizations in the SAP system.

Preparing for eSocial was the first stage of the project and involved cleaning up the data of more than 17 thousand company employees.

In January 2018, the second stage began, involving immobilization.

Based on the ability of the Innowera tool to sanitize and manage data with management systems and the proximity of the eSocial effective date, Sabesp opted to start by treating and preparing employees’ social security and labor information.

“We put the platform to use very quickly and found that 41% of employees had some inconsistency in their registration, which could have a major impact on the material to be sent to eSocial, which could generate considerable delays and fines,” says Carvalheiro.

The Innowera tool also allowed the construction of macros in MS-Excel to facilitate the correction and adaptation of employee data for reloading in SAP.

“Activities that would take several months were carried out in a few days. As a result, we had a significant reduction in costs and time ”, points out Carvalheiro.

Sanitation and data comparison, pointing out errors for correction according to the rules and layout of e-Social (which has about 200 fields for each employee), as well as for any other legal and business obligations, are among the biggest benefits , according to him.

Sabesp serves 367 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, benefiting more than 27.7 million people with water supply and 21.4 million people with sewage collection.

Earlier this month, the company announced another project developed with support from Nalbatech.

Sabesb contracted the company’s managed services to detect vulnerabilities and security flaws in software applications during its own or third party application development. The initiative focuses on the use of the BugScout platform.
