Case Study: The Honey Baked Ham Company achieves rapid application segmentation and compliance with Guardicore Centra

Honey Baked Ham Simplifies Segmentation and Controls Access To Critical Applications With Guardicore

The Honey Baked Ham Company, a leading American food producer and retailer, needed to improve security for 45 critical applications that handled sensitive customer data while also meeting PCI-DSS requirements. Its legacy firewalls lacked visibility, granular control, and practical segmentation capabilities, and the company needed a safer approach that would not disrupt business operations. Guardicore Centra was selected to help address these challenges.

Using Guardicore Centra, Honey Baked Ham deployed software-based micro-segmentation with process-level visibility and application dependency mapping across on-premises and virtual environments. The company secured 45 applications in six weeks with zero downtime, cut upfront costs by 50%, reduced total project cost by 85% to under $160,000, and accelerated implementation by more than 15x. Guardicore also improved threat detection, reduced lateral movement risk, and strengthened PCI-DSS compliance.
