Considered one of the largest players in the market, the company has presence in Campinas (SP), Brasília (DF) and Miami (USA), has already served more than 1,000 national and international clients in Finance, E-commerce, Telecom, Healthcare, Services and Industry.=
UPX works against DDoS attacks, vulnerabilities and cyber threats with the support of a highly specialized team of Information Security and Network Engineering professionals that operates through a SOC (Security Operations Center), a NOC (Network Operations Center) and Scrubbing Centers (Mitigation Centers).
The company has a growing global network backbone and seeks developing and improving its own technologies, what gives UPX the differentials of being a pioneer, innovative and disruptive company in the IT area, with the experience of professionals engaged in the protection of the internet and its users.
When Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks were born in Brazil and the first Brazilian radios migrated to the Internet, UPX was present with all operational and strategic support, offering a Content Delivery Network (CDN) with global distribution and streaming for this new audience. The pioneerism positioned the company as a reference in performance and created the conditions to develop new technologies always ahead of the market competitors.
With a significant presence in the entertainment market, including clients such as the radios Nova Brasil FM, Jovem PAN, CBN and Rede Vida, UPX CDN now has its own backbone to optimize the websites and applications' delivery of content, with security. That way, new business opportunities have emerged, such as partnerships with large portals and e-commerce.
In 2013, Distributed Denial of Service attacks, known as DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service), become more frequent and massive. The lack of products offers that were able to meet this demand guaranteed exclusivity to UPX in providing a more efficient IPTS - IP Transit Security.
The next breakthrough was in the face of recent cyber attacks and data leaks: the implementation of the SOC (Security Operation Center) to prevent, detect and manage all aspects of information security. With this, UPX became a reference in vulnerability analysis, risk mapping and efficient tactical actions.
In 2017, UPX completes 15 years of excellence and inaugurates its new headquarter: a 2,500 m² building, located in the region of Alphaville Campinas, in the countryside of São Paulo (SP), known for being a technological and educational hub due to its proximity to universities and research centers. The continuous investments in the areas of security, networks and development have allowed the hiring of more professionals and suppliers generating more and more expressive results.
