Sonepar is a €32.5 billion B2B electrical products distributor operating 90 brands across 40 countries with 46,000 associates. Founded in 1969 as a family-owned business, the company is now executing what it calls an "ambitious transformation" to build the first fully digitalized omnichannel platform in global electrical distribution - a shift that surfaces meaningful attack surface across legacy wholesale infrastructure, customer-facing e-commerce, and internal operational technology. The threat model here is decentralized by design. Ninety distinct brands means ninety potential entry points, each with its own customer portals, inventory systems, and on-premise distribution nodes spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific. The company's tech stack includes Azure cloud infrastructure, Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments, Epicor Eclipse ERP, Power BI analytics, and various CRM systems - a hybrid architecture common in industrial distribution but challenging to secure at scale. Customer touchpoints run over the counter, on-site, by phone, and online, which means securing both digital channels and the physical/logistical systems that fulfill orders. Security teams here likely contend with supply chain integrity issues endemic to wholesale distribution, third-party risk across a sprawling vendor ecosystem, and the operational constraints of keeping legacy systems running while migrating to cloud-native services. The digitalization push introduces modern application security concerns - API security, identity and access management across decentralized operations, and data protection for commercial customer relationships - while maintaining continuity in mission-critical distribution workflows that can't afford downtime.

In 2019, Xepelin was born from a simple but powerful observation: Latin America's small and medium businesses were being left behind by traditional banking, with over 70% closing before their fifth year due to lack of access to capital and proper financial tools. Co-founders Sebastian Kreis and Nicolas de Camino recognized that these companies, representing over 60% of the region's GDP with more than $10 trillion in unmet financial needs, deserved better. So they built Xepelin - a comprehensive fintech platform designed to be the "digital CFO" for businesses that traditional banks had overlooked. What started as a bold idea has rapidly transformed into a movement serving over 60,000 companies across Chile and Mexico, with more than $5 billion in financing deployed. Xepelin's platform combines the simplicity of a SaaS tool with powerful embedded financial services, enabling businesses to organize their financial information in real-time, automate payments to suppliers, and access working capital with just three clicks. The company has raised over $567 million from leading investors including Kaszek, Avenir Growth Capital, and Goldman Sachs, cementing its position as one of Latin America's fastest-growing fintechs. Now employing hundreds across the region, Xepelin continues to expand its mission of democratizing financial services, leveraging AI and data analytics to assess risk more accurately and help businesses thrive in markets where they had previously struggled to survive.

Addi operates a Colombian fintech platform processing Buy Now, Pay Later transactions and banking services across a dual-sided ecosystem connecting 2.5 million consumers with 26,000+ merchants. The company holds regulatory approval to operate as a bank in Colombia and reports $200 million in annual recurring revenue. Its infrastructure runs on a proprietary credit underwriting model designed to assess consumer lending risk in Latin American markets where traditional credit bureau data is sparse or unreliable. The security surface spans payment processing at scale, regulatory compliance for banking operations, and protection of sensitive financial and transaction data across merchant integrations and consumer touchpoints. The platform must defend against fraud vectors specific to BNPL models - synthetic identity attacks, account takeover, and merchant-side collusion - while maintaining uptime for commerce transactions. With $420 million in debt commitments on the books and backing from Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, and Goldman Sachs, the risk profile includes both operational resilience and financial data integrity under scrutiny from institutional stakeholders. Technical domains include payment infrastructure, credit risk modeling systems, banking regulatory compliance frameworks, and API security for thousands of merchant integrations. The company operates in a regulatory environment that requires adherence to Colombian banking standards while scaling consumer lending operations across Latin America.
