NowCy

Describes itself as a recognised Zscaler partner and specialist in Brazil. Zscaler's Brazilian channel is small and recent next to the network vendors, which is what a market looks like while a category is still being established rather than replaced.

The registration is dated 21 February 2022 in Belo Horizonte, and the trade press reporting the company's sale a year later says it was created in 2021 - the ordinary gap between a business starting and its paperwork catching up. The registry date is used here because it is the documented one, and the 2021 account is recorded alongside it rather than chosen over it.

That same registration appears under TWO company names depending on when a directory scraped it: Now Treinamento e Locacao, and Nowcy Seguranca da Informacao. The secondary activity codes still carry the older shape - professional training, equipment rental, retail of computing supplies - so the record shows a company that repositioned itself from training and rental into security and did not bother rewriting its back catalogue of CNAE codes.

In February 2023 it was incorporated into BHS, a Minas Gerais IT services group, as that group's fourth company. It is the third firm in this catalogue to end up inside a larger holding rather than remaining independent - Proteus went to Patria and became part of SEK, and Segertech sits inside a foreign-trade group - which is what the market for Brazilian security specialists has been doing for some years.
