IT Safe Information Security

What IT Safe Information Security does

IT Safe (TI Safe) is a Brazilian private cybersecurity company founded in 2007 in Rio de Janeiro, specializing in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and industrial/OT security. It positions itself as a pioneer in CPS cybersecurity in Brazil, with operations spanning critical infrastructure sectors including energy (primary), oil and gas, transportation, water, agribusiness, government, mining, healthcare, manufacturing, and finance. Named reference customers include Norte Energia, ENGIE Brasil, COPEL, SABESP, and Caramuru Alimentos.

The company's core offering combines the Safer Platform—an AI-powered cognitive platform for event correlation, anomaly detection, risk analytics, and automated response—with the proprietary iCPS Cybersecurity methodology. The platform is structured in four tiers (SFR-5, SFR-25, SFR-50, SFR-100) and three deployment architectures (Standalone, Core, Tower). Compliance alignment includes ISA/IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISO 27001, and Brazilian sector-specific frameworks such as ANEEL/ONS. In 2022, the company launched TI Safe Lab, described as the first Brazilian industrial cybersecurity R&D lab, with focus on digital substations. Talent development is supported through TI Safe Academy and the CASE certification program, with 3,000+ professionals trained to date.

The business model combines subscription licensing for the Safer Platform, managed services delivered through three CPS-SOCs (two in Rio de Janeiro, one in Curitiba) operating 24x7, professional services (assessments, deployment, advisory), and training revenue. Direct enterprise field sales target large critical-infrastructure operators. The company maintains commercial offices in São Paulo and Salvador, and is founder-owned (Marcelo Branquinho as CEO, Thiago Branquinho as CTO) with no disclosed external funding rounds. Strategic partnerships include Fortinet, Thales, and Hitachi Energy, alongside academic engagement with UFRJ's Aerospace Research Group.

Direct peers

• Claroty: Claroty specializes in cyber-physical systems security for industrial, healthcare, and commercial environments. Its platform and SOC partnerships compete directly with TI Safe's Safer Platform and CPS-SOC services across overlapping verticals like energy and manufacturing.
• OTORIO (formerly SCADAfence): OTORIO provides OT security and risk management for industrial environments, with asset visibility and threat detection capabilities comparable to TI Safe's offerings. Both vendors address similar SCADA/ICS security needs for critical infrastructure operators.
• Dragos: Dragos is a global OT/ICS cybersecurity pure-play that provides asset discovery, threat detection, and incident response for industrial environments. It is the most direct competitor to TI Safe's Safer Platform and CPS-SOC offerings, serving the same critical infrastructure customers with a comparable technology+services model.
• Nozomi Networks: Nozomi Networks provides OT and IoT security solutions with asset visibility, threat detection, and SOC support, mirroring TI Safe's CPS cybersecurity positioning. Both vendors target critical infrastructure operators with platform-based solutions and managed services.

Broad incumbents

• Mandiant (Google Cloud): Mandiant offers industrial control systems incident response and OT security consulting within a broader cybersecurity services portfolio. While significantly larger and more generalist, it competes with TI Safe's CPS-SOC and incident response capabilities for high-end enterprise engagements.
• Atos (Eviden): Atos (now Eviden) delivers critical infrastructure cybersecurity services including OT/ICS security, threat detection, and managed SOC services as part of a broader IT services portfolio. Its scale and global reach contrast with TI Safe's regional focus, but they overlap in critical infrastructure customer engagements.
• Palo Alto Networks: Palo Alto Networks offers OT security through its Industrial OT Security product and partner integrations, competing with TI Safe's platform and zero-trust architecture approach. It is a broader incumbent with broader IT/OT convergence capabilities but less CPS-specific specialization.

Others

• Fortinet: Fortinet is a TI Safe technology partner, but its OT security portfolio (FortiGate, FortiNAC, etc.) provides adjacent infrastructure that some clients may use as a substitute for TI Safe's managed services. The partnership is mutual, but the broader platform competes for OT security budget.

Emerging players

• Temasek-owned Cybereason (or other LATAM-focused OT security firm): Cybereason and similar endpoint/OT security vendors are expanding into Latin America, providing cloud-based threat detection that overlaps with TI Safe's CPS-SOC offering. While broader in focus, they represent emerging competition for OT security budgets in the region.

Regional players

• 1STelecom (Brazil): 1STelecom is a Brazilian IT/OT security services provider focused on industrial networks and critical infrastructure. It is a regional competitor in the same Brazilian market as TI Safe, with overlapping customer segments in energy and industrial sectors.
