Case Study: State Garden achieves agentless visibility and policy-based device control with ForeScout CounterACT

ForeScout CounterACT Provides State Garden with Visibility and Policy-Based Control of Devices

State Garden, a 75-year-old regional producer of fresh leafy greens, runs a highly mechanized, technology-driven production environment where optical sorters, scales and other IoT-equipped machines sit alongside desktops and mobile devices. With roughly 670 wired and wireless endpoints spanning adjacent buildings and just two IT staffers, the company needed a way to secure, inventory and enforce policy across both traditional and manufacturing devices without overwhelming limited resources.

State Garden deployed ForeScout CounterACT after a successful demo, gaining agentless, real-time visibility and automated discovery, classification and remediation of devices. Policy-based VLAN segmentation, guest onboarding, and integration with Rapid7 Nexpose enabled automated vulnerability assessment and flexible enforcement, delivering a seamless rollout and allowing two people to manage security as if they had a full security team.
