People are sometimes surprised when a food distribution company talks about network security, but our business runs on uptime. Our facility operates around the clock: handheld scanners, label printers, cold-storage monitoring, and the systems behind our online ordering platform all depend on the same infrastructure. If that network goes down — or worse, gets compromised — trucks don’t leave, cold-chain visibility goes dark, and customers across more than sixteen states don’t receive their orders. For us, the network is as mission-critical as the warehouse floor itself. ConnGuard gave us something we had never had before: a live picture of every device connected anywhere in our operation, with automatic segmentation that keeps warehouse and IoT equipment completely separate from our business and e-commerce systems. A scanner can reach the warehouse system and nothing else. EndGuard ensures that every office laptop and every sales rep’s device on the road meets our security baseline before it connects — no exceptions. And SpotGate lets visiting vendors, drivers, and contractors get online at our facility without ever touching our operational network. We are not a ten-thousand-person enterprise, but the systems we protect are critical to everyone who depends on us. S3M gave us enterprise-grade Zero Trust without enterprise-grade complexity.
