Forescout

Automated 4D network security platform

Forescout, a multi-award winning network security platform, goes way beyond traditional Network Access Control (NAC). It actively defends your network by providing real-time visibility of everything connecting to your network. Then enforces how you want to control network access for those devices according to your policies, compliance rules and threat intelligence.

Networks these days have an abundance of connected things, from transient contractor and guest devices, to IoT, OT and smart devices, making Zero Trust access quite a challenge.

Discover | Assess | Control | Govern

Forescout’s platform automates the 4 steps: Discover, Assess, Control and Govern:

• Continuous discovery and identification of all IP connected devices, managed and unmanaged; IT, IoT, IoMT and OT.
• Assessment of each device for security posture and risk.
• Controlled network access per device based on policy, including segmentation and least privilege.
• Implementation of remediation workflows via integrations with other security tools for automated compliance.

The solution goes beyond simple one off device authentication. The continuous assessment for noncompliance and detection of unusual behaviour, with remediation work flows, ensures you meet compliance goals. With added risk and exposure management to protect you from the latest threats.

Forescout is agentless

Forescout does not rely on agents or 802.1X. Instead a combination of 20+ passive and active techniques provide real-time granular visibility, with options to use passive-only methods for sensitive and critical infrastructure environments.

Real-time asset inventory

Forescout quickly builds a detailed inventory of every device’s configuration and compliance state to streamline asset management.

Automated security posture assessment and remediation

Forescout assesses each device’s security posture in real time without agents and remediates non-compliant devices upon connection. The asset inventory is updated in real time to help you identify and track all network connections.

Policy enforcement

Forescout helps you improve security and business uptime by preventing connection by unauthorized, rogue and impersonating devices (MAC spoofing).

Forescout can help with all 5 of the key security controls required for the Cyber Essentials certification; Firewalls, Secure Configuration, Security Update Management, User Access Control and Malware Protection.

Zero Trust security

Forescout enforces least-privileged access based on device and user identity, device hygiene and real-time compliance status.
