From Noise to Harmony: Cybersecurity Needs a Baton Too

Batuta, in Spanish, is the name given to the conductor’s baton—that small object that, in the right hands, can transform chaos into harmony and noise into music. And precisely that image made me realize how fitting the name was for our platform.

I’ve been immersed in cybersecurity for over a decade, leading incident response teams. Over time, I started noticing a pattern that repeated itself over and over: clients were facing the same challenges during incidents, and those challenges always had the same root cause. For example, in critical moments—such as during a ransomware incident within an organization—traditional solutions are often no longer available: the EDR has been disabled, Active Directory has stopped working, and the usual tools fail. This lack of visibility and control at key moments is precisely what allows incidents to spread more easily. At that point, cybersecurity and IT teams are left empty-handed.

That’s where Batuta comes in.

Batuta was built to be those remote, fast, and secure hands. A tool designed to step in when everything else can’t. But beyond that, it’s a platform with a deeper purpose: to orchestrate.

Yes, orchestrate. Because in the face of an incident—or even in day-to-day operations—cybersecurity and IT can no longer operate in silos. They have to function as one. Batuta promotes that collaboration, that synchronization between people, tools, and processes.

Just like a conductor guides each musician, so the whole orchestra plays in harmony, Batuta enables each endpoint, each system, each area of an organization to act in unison. It doesn’t just react—it coordinates, guides, and anticipates.

When we started using Batuta within our own service offering, the results were immediate. In one of the first cases, a client was left completely exposed after an attack. We didn’t have access to anything, yet Batuta allowed us to quickly contain the incident, restore operations, and hand control back to the client. That’s when we realized we were building something that truly made a difference.

That is the reason behind the name. Because Batuta isn’t just another tool, it’s the baton that brings the entire system into sync. It’s the ability to turn complexity into clarity, and noise into coordinated action.

Today, more than ever, we need intelligent orchestration. We need a baton. And for me, there couldn’t be a name that better represents what we do and why we do it.
