Case Study: Gerawan Farms achieves improved IT efficiency and zero malware outbreaks with Bitdefender Cloud Security for Endpoints

Gerawan Farms increases productivity with unified security management

Gerawan Farms, the nation’s largest grower and distributor of stone fruits, runs a highly distributed workforce of about 1,000 full‑time staff (up to 4,500 in peak season) with roughly 250 field workers using mobile devices to capture and share data. Managing multiple security vendors left the IT team with poor administrative controls, difficulty applying updates and policies, and limited visibility into which devices were on the network; the company ultimately selected Bitdefender and its Cloud Security for Endpoints solution to address these challenges.

Bitdefender deployed Cloud Security for Endpoints via a small Proof‑of‑Concept and then a full rollout, using its cloud‑hosted console to push updates and policies with minimal footprint on devices. As a result, Gerawan Farms reports no outbreaks since installation, eliminated expired-license and update headaches, and reduced admin antimalware time from about three hours per week to roughly one hour per month—achieving ROI in less than a year and improving overall IT efficiency and productivity.
