OVERVIEW

Grupo Reyes is a 100% Mexican conglomerate founded in 1970 in León, Guanajuato, by entrepreneur
Benjamín Reyes. What began as a small plastics operation with a single extrusion machine and four
employees has grown into a diversified group of more than 20 national and international companies spanning
plastics and packaging, construction materials, hospitality, real estate, and services. Its flagship company,
REYMA, is a leading manufacturer of disposable and biodegradable products in Mexico, the Caribbean, and
North America, employing nearly 10,000 people across seven industrial complexes in Mexico and one in
the United States. With a presence in multiple states across Mexico and distribution reaching into Central
America and the U.S., Grupo Reyes operates in highly regulated and competitive markets where operational
efficiency and business continuity are fundamental to its continued growth.

CHALLENGE

As Grupo Reyes expanded its operations across multiple industries and geographies, the León, Guanajuatobased company faced increasingly complex cyber security challenges, challenges that grew critical to
overcome as Grupo Reyes accelerated its digitalization efforts amid rising and sophisticated threats.

Abraham Sevillano, the company’s director of innovation and business, who serves as a strategic enabler
responsible for systematizing and automating processes, identified several core challenges that went
straight to their cyber security efforts: high operational complexity, limited visibility into threats, too many
disconnected security tools, as well as the growing threats from cyber security incidents that could impact
business continuity. “This became more critical with the company’s exponential growth, accelerated
digitalization, and the increase in cyber threats,” Sevillano said.

For those Grupo Reyes’ companies that operate 24/7, the stakes were especially high. The scattered toolset
created excessive reliance on reactive processes, leading the security team to constantly respond to incidents
rather than prevent them. The organization needed a comprehensive, centralized cyber security platform
that was reliable and capable of protecting operations while supporting continued business growth without
restrictions.

SOLUTION

Grupo Reyes evaluated multiple cyber security alternatives before selecting Check Point Software
Technologies. The competing vendors turned out to offer fragmented point products, higher operational
demands, and less visibility. These vendors also lacked the scalability Grupo Reyes needed as its business
grew.

“We decided to go with Check Point because it provides us with a robust, mature, and scalable architecture
that prevents attacks. And Check Point is highly reliable with a strategic vision that is aligned with complex
and growing companies like ours,” Sevillano said. Grupo Reyes deployed Check Point Firewall, Check Point
Spark Firewall for branch and distributed locations, Check Point SD-WAN for resilient connectivity, and
Check Point Attack Surface Management for external threat exposure visibility.

The decision met each of Grupo Reyes’ key objectives. First, the platform’s ability to scale and consolidate
security tools enabled precise threat detection while integrating multiple security capabilities into a single
management console. Rather than managing a patchwork of disconnected point solutions, technicians could
nnow work from a unified console. This consolidation would dramatically reduce operational complexity and
training overhead.

Second, Check Point’s superior ability to prevent attacks represented a fundamental shift from the reactive
posture that Grupo Reyes’ prior security vendors provided. The mature level of protection against advanced
threats impressed both leadership and the technical team within Grupo Reyes.

Third, Check Point provided clear, actionable visibility, enabling the security team to move from limited
awareness to comprehensive operational insight across the organization’s diverse business units.

OUTCOME

Check Point Firewall, Check Point Spark Firewall, Check Point SD-WAN, and Check Point Attack Surface
Management delivered measurable outcomes that quickly exceeded Grupo Reyes’ expectations. The team
managed to swiftly centralize security operations, greatly improve threat detection and prevention, simplify
day-to-day operations, and raise their overall control across all business units.

The benefits were immediate: greater operational continuity, a significant reduction in risks, better security
management and visibility, a lower operational burden for work teams, and—critically—a clear alignment
between security and business objectives. Critical security incidents decreased, threat response times
shortened, key system availability increased, and compliance and audit indicators improved.

Sevillano recalls one event that particularly demonstrated Check Point’s value. Grupo Reyes endured an
attack targeting one of its email servers. With Check Point in place, the team detected and mitigated the
threat immediately, without affecting business continuity—a critical outcome for a company whose divisions
operate around the clock.

Check Point also delivered financial returns. By strengthening protection and reducing exposure to risk,
Grupo Reyes improved its overall risk profile, which positively impacted cyber security outcomes and reduced
insurance costs.

Perhaps most importantly, Check Point enabled cyber security to stop being a hindrance and become a true
business enabler, giving management the confidence to continue innovating and growing. The Director of
Innovation expressed strong confidence in Check Point as an innovative, scalable solution at the forefront of
current threats, noting that both he and his team feel protected and secure thanks to the platform’s constant
innovations. “Check Point has allowed cyber security to stop being a hindrance and become a business
enabler, giving management the confidence to continue innovating and growing,” Sevillano said.
