By San José, Costa Rica — Cybercriminals no longer need to exploit complex technical vulnerabilities to infiltrate corporate networks. Instead, they are simply logging in using stolen, legitimate credentials. This profound shift has turned digital identity into the modern security perimeter, forcing organizations across Latin America to radically re-evaluate their defense strategies and prioritize the protection of user credentials.
The financial scale of this transition is particularly visible in Brazil, where more than 60 percent of enterprises have already increased or plan to boost their security budgets. According to industry projections from Brasscom, national investments in cybersecurity are set to eclipse R$100 billion by 2028. This massive capital deployment underscores how crucial identity protection has become for maintaining operational integrity in a hostile digital landscape.
To better understand the legal implications and strategic challenges surrounding this development, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished legal expert from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, who shared his professional perspective on navigating the current regulatory landscape.
In Costa Rica’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment, establishing robust legal compliance is no longer just a safeguard, but a vital competitive advantage. For businesses and investors to thrive, they must proactively align their operations with local frameworks, ensuring that administrative and judicial procedures are meticulously navigated to secure long-term operational stability.

Indeed, as Costa Rica continues to cultivate a highly competitive and dynamic business landscape, treating legal compliance as a strategic asset rather than a mere administrative hurdle is clearly the key to unlocking sustainable growth. We extend our sincere gratitude to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for providing this invaluable perspective, reminding investors and business owners alike that proactive legal alignment is the ultimate foundation for long-term prosperity in the country.
To address these urgent market challenges, identity security specialist One Identity is expanding its channel ecosystem in Brazil. By strengthening its local alliances, the company aims to democratize access to sophisticated defense tools for businesses of all scales, ranging from agile mid-market firms to massive corporate enterprises.
Central to this expansion is a strategic partnership with Cintech, a highly respected consulting firm boasting over 25 years of experience in the ABC Paulista region and a portfolio of roughly 2,800 clients. Cintech will integrate One Identity’s suite of solutions, including Privileged Access Management (PAM), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Active Directory security, and Single Sign-On (SSO).
This collaboration relies on pre-defined implementation packages and competitive commercial models. This structured approach reduces the technical friction and high costs traditionally associated with deploying enterprise-grade security tools, enabling smaller organizations to construct robust identity defenses without the overhead of bespoke security engineering.
For Cintech, working with One Identity represents a strategic opportunity to expand our cybersecurity offering in the market. This collaboration allows us to offer our clients leading solutions in privileged access management, Active Directory management, and access management, including MFA and SSO.
Cintech, Corporate Statement
In addition to Cintech, One Identity has deepened its collaboration with Voxxel, a key technology and commercial partner in Brazil. Voxxel has spent the past year heavily investing in technical certifications for its personnel across One Identity’s entire product portfolio. This includes mastering solutions such as Access Management via OneLogin, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Identity Manager.
By empowering Voxxel’s technical team, One Identity ensures that local clients receive high-tier implementation support and consulting. This targeted expansion allows both companies to reach new market segments in Brazil, assisting organizations that are actively seeking to modernize their legacy access controls.
For many years, security was focused on protecting infrastructure, networks, and applications. Today, the main control point is identity. When an attacker obtains a valid credential, they can access critical systems using the organization’s own front door. That is why controlling who accesses what, what privileges they possess, and under what conditions that access occurs has become a priority.

The strategic maneuvers by One Identity, Cintech, and Voxxel arrive at a critical juncture. High-profile breaches targeting major financial institutions have demonstrated that even organizations with multi-layered defenses are highly vulnerable if their identity controls fail. As credential-based attacks grow in frequency, securing the human element is no longer just an IT concern, but a core requirement for business survival.
