Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU) represents the Brazilian government and public agencies in legal matters via a vast network of approximately 14,000 employees—including 6,000 lawyers—located both inside and outside the country. AGU handles some extremely sensitive data, so its network requires strong cybersecurity. To uphold high security standards, AGU embarked on a strategic modernization journey for its network and security infrastructure.
