From vendor to partner: how Strike strengthened Patria Investments’ cybersecurity

INTRO

Patria is one of the most important alternative investment managers in Latin America, with operations across infrastructure, credit, private equity, and real estate. Its mission is to manage strategic funds under the highest standards of security, transparency, and control, protecting sensitive information across multiple markets and jurisdictions.

• Regional presence across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe.
  
  
• Over USD 50 billion in assets under management (AUM).
  
  
• Operates both internal and external platforms that require enterprise-grade security.
  
  

CONTEXT

As a financial organization handling large volumes of sensitive information and complex operations, Patria needed to continuously assess and strengthen the security of its web applications and internal services. Regulatory compliance, critical data protection, and the validation of security controls are essential components of its business—especially within the financial sector.

CHALLENGE

Patria aimed to reinforce the security of its critical applications and validate its internal controls through a deep, up-to-date penetration test. To achieve this, they needed to:

• Identify high-impact vulnerabilities.
  
• Assess the maturity level of existing security controls.
  
• Mitigate operational risks that could affect business continuity.
  
• Gain clear, actionable visibility to prioritize remediation efforts.
  
  

Given the complexity of the environment and the regulatory demands of the financial sector, Patria decided to seek the support of an external team with real offensive security expertise and a modern platform to manage the entire process.
