Case Study: Ardentec achieves real-time network visibility and protection from unauthorized and unsecured devices with ForeScout CounterACT

Ardentec Utilizes ForeScout CounterACT® to Gain Real-time Network Visibility and Protection from Unauthorized and Unsecured Devices

Ardentec, a Taiwan-based semiconductor test services provider with more than 1,000 employees and four manufacturing sites, needed to strengthen network security across its branches and gain full visibility and traceability of over 4,000 endpoints. The IT team’s priorities were preventing unauthorized or unsecured devices from accessing the network, getting early alerts on rogue connections, and preserving user experience with a solution compatible with multi-vendor switches.

Ardentec selected ForeScout CounterACT’s agentless platform for fast, low-impact deployment and centralized policy enforcement, including IP–MAC binding, device validation and automated guest access controls. Rolled out across four sites in under a month, the solution delivered real-time endpoint visibility, automated blocking/diversion of rogue devices, streamlined asset validation, and raised ISO 27001 compliance to 80% while reducing overall network asset risk.
