How ERON International Transformed Fintech Security in 6 Months

‍

How Jarix was born: security from inside a Fintech managing millions of daily transactions.

Jarix was not born in a boardroom planning a new business.It was born from a security team that was tired of putting out fires.

A team that operated within ERON, a global technology hub specialized in building and scaling fintech infrastructure. Where millions of transactions are processed daily and the traditional way of doing things was simply not going to scale.

This is the story of how ERON International transformed its security in six months  and why that transformation became a product.

The real challenge of fintech cybersecurity in multi-market operations

ERON International operates as a fintech hub across multiple regions. That means complying with regulations in different jurisdictions, protecting distributed infrastructure, and doing it all without security becoming the bottleneck that slows down new products or markets.

The problem faced by companies operating across multiple markets was not a lack of tools. It was the lack of connection between them.

Every alert required manual analysis. Every incident, human coordination. Every new compliance requirement, weeks of preparation. The security team was good, but it was trapped putting out fires instead of building defenses.

The question was not "what tool do we buy?" but "how do we make all of this work together, at scale, without multiplying the team by ten?"

And those were exactly the questions ERON International set out to answer.

ERON International is a global technology hub specialized in the creation and scalability of fintech infrastructure. This platform unifies payment orchestration, financial automation, and AI-powered cybersecurity in a single ecosystem giving companies the ability to manage their global operations from one unified environment, reducing complexity, accelerating expansion, and strengthening governance across all markets.

How to automate fintech security: ERON's transformation in 6 months

The decision was clear: automate first, scale later.

In six months, ERON transformed its security operation from the ground up. This was not a "implement a tool" project — it was a redesign of how security interacts with every layer of the business.

First line of defense: Cloudflare Workers and real-time carding detection

Cloudflare became the first line of defense. But not just as a traditional WAF — the team developed custom agents in Cloudflare Workers that detect specific attack patterns targeting the payments sector.

The carding case is the perfect example: an agent analyzes behavior in real time, identifies patterns of mass card validation, and depending on the case re-validates, stops, or reports. All before malicious traffic ever touches the internal infrastructure.

Zero Trust and EDR: how ERON protects globally distributed endpoints

The combination of EDR, JumpCloud, and Zero Trust architecture closed the endpoint gap. No matter where the team works from: every device is verified, every access is conditional, every anomaly is detected.

One case that illustrates this: malware detected on an endpoint outside business hours. Before, that compromised device could remain connected to the network for hours before anyone noticed. Now, the system automatically isolates the device, contains the threat, and documents the incident. The analyst arrives Monday with the problem resolved and a full report.

AWS Security: from hundreds of daily alerts to 80% less noise

AWS is the heart of the operation. Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudWatch  AWS's native tools are powerful. But on their own they generate what every security team knows well: hundreds of daily alerts, mostly noise, scattered across different consoles.

The challenge was not to detect more. It was to detect better.

The solution: an intelligence layer that revalidates every finding before it consumes human time. Seven agents built on AWS Bedrock analyze patterns that would take hours to identify manually — lateral movement, privilege escalation, anomalous behavior between services. When Security Hub raises an alert, Tines intercepts it, enriches it with context from other sources, and determines whether it deserves attention or can be resolved automatically.

The analyst no longer navigates between three consoles trying to piece together the puzzle. They receive a complete case: what happened, where, who caused it, and what to do.

This model was recently highlighted in the AWS Partner Network Blog as an example of how intelligent automation transforms cloud security operations.

Threat intelligence beyond the perimeter

SOCRadar gave them something they didn't have before: knowing what's happening outside. Mentions in forums, leaked credentials, phishing domains impersonating their brand. Threat intelligence went from being a monthly report nobody read to real-time input for automations.

The brain: Tines as orchestrator

More than 100 automations in Tines connect everything above. These are not isolated scripts — they are complete workflows that make decisions, execute actions, and escalate only when necessary.

The most tangible result: 80% reduction in alert noise. The team stopped reviewing hundreds of false positives to focus on what really matters.

PCI DSS in less than 2 weeks: how automation transforms fintech compliance

There is one benefit that was not in the original plan, but that changed the business equation entirely: automated compliance.

With Drata orchestrating evidence and automations feeding the controls, ERON can achieve PCI DSS certifications in less than two weeks. It is not magic — it is that 90% of the compliance work is already happening as part of normal operations.

For a payment processor, this is direct competitive advantage. New clients requiring SOC2 no longer mean months of preparation. New regions with specific requirements no longer slow down expansion.

From internal team to Jarix: when the solution becomes a product

What began as ERON's security transformation revealed something bigger: this model worked so well that other companies in the group wanted the same thing.

The standardization that enabled automation made it possible to replicate the operation. One company, then two, then five. Each with its own particularities, but all built on the same foundation of automation and orchestration.

That is where Jarix was born.

Not as an MSSP that learned security from a book, but as a team that lived it from inside a payment processor. That knows what a 3 AM incident means when there are transactions in flight. That understands compliance is not a checkbox but a business enabler.

Security as competitive advantage: what we learned operating global fintech infrastructure

Today, finding cybersecurity talent is hard, expensive, and slow. And when you finally find it, you lose it because someone else poaches them or because they burn out putting out fires.

But the alternative is not to settle for mediocre security.

What we learned at ERON — and what we do today at Jarix — is that the right combination of automation, AI agents, and well-designed processes allows small teams to do what used to require enormous ones. It is applying technology with real operational knowledge.

Many companies know they need to improve their security, but don't know where to start. Or they bought tools that were never properly implemented. Or they have a team that can't keep up.

We know that well. Because we lived it.

If your security today blocks more than it enables, then we can help.

Security from the CTO's seat

Operating a global technology hub requires making trust decisions every day. One of the most important is choosing who to delegate security to.

Security as competitive advantage

"For years, security was something we had to do. Today it is something that differentiates us. Jarix gave us the ability to move fast without compromising protection — and in an industry where trust is everything, that is real competitive advantage. I don't see them as a vendor. I see them as part of the team that makes it possible for ERON to keep growing."

Pablo Kamil, CTO of ERON International
