ConnGuard NAC — Enterprise NAC Platform
ConnGuard is an enterprise NAC platform delivering identity-driven Zero Trust access control across hybrid, on-prem and cloud infrastructures.
Egea Food
Egea Food is a Miami, Florida halal-certified protein manufacturer, producing since 1983, that uses S3M's ConnGuard NAC, EndGuard, and SpotGate on its 24/7 production network. Production and cold-chain IoT are segmented from business and ERP systems, office and sales devices meet a security baseline, and USDA and HACCP auditors, drivers, and vendors use isolated guest access.
Since 1983
Egea Food
Challenge
Egea Food has produced halal-certified Mediterranean and Middle Eastern proteins since 1983, distributing across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean under USDA and HACCP certification. Behind that is a 24/7 operation — production-line controllers, cold-storage and refrigerated-fleet monitoring, warehouse scanners, and the B2B ordering systems its wholesale customers rely on, all on one network. A disruption there doesn’t just slow IT down; it threatens the cold chain and the shipments restaurants and retailers expect on time.
Solution
ConnGuard gave Egea a live inventory of every device in the plant and automatically segmented production and cold-chain IoT away from business and ERP systems. EndGuard makes sure every office and sales device meets the security baseline before it connects. With SpotGate, the USDA and HACCP auditors, drivers, and outside vendors who come through the facility get online without ever touching the operational network.
Outcome
A sensor or scanner can reach exactly what it needs and nothing more. Production-line and cold-chain IoT are segmented from business and ERP systems, auditors, drivers, and vendors connect via isolated guest access, and every office and sales device meets its security baseline before reaching order systems — extending four decades of trust to the network without slowing the line.
