Forescout Overview
Forescout, founded in April 2000, is a global cybersecurity leader, identifying, protecting and helping ensure the compliance of all managed and unmanaged cyber assets – IT, IoT, IoMT and OT – and enabling customers to more effectively manage cyber risk and mitigate threats.
Utilising seamless context sharing and workflow orchestration via ecosystem partners, the Forescout Platform delivers comprehensive capabilities for network security, risk and exposure management, and threat detection and response.
Risk & Exposure Management
Forescout Risk and Exposure Management is a comprehensive asset intelligence tool that provides the foundation for understanding the security posture of your attack surface. Empowered by an AI-driven engine, it tracks the effectiveness of response actions across the security ecosystem to reduce your risk posture and exposure state using an automated risk-based approach to remediate vulnerabilities.
Network Security
Forescout’s Network Security solutions, including Network Access Control, provide unified visibility and control over all network assets, ensuring effective cybersecurity monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. In addition, the solution integrates with IT tools, ticketing systems, and SIEM to deliver coordinated threat responses and automated remediation actions, supporting an adaptive approach to Zero Trust.
Threat Detection & Response
Forescout’s Threat Detection & Response leverages data from across the enterprise and converts telemetry and logs into high fidelity, SOC-actionable probable threats, including from managed and unmanaged devices. This not only alleviates the burden on SOC teams, but also empowers them to effectively detect, investigate, and respond to threats while optimising resource utilisation.
Operational Technology Security
Forescout continuously identifies and mitigates risk across all cyber assets in an organisation’s infrastructure, including sensitive operational technologies and industrial control systems, as well as offering a continuously expanding Industrial Threat Library, containing thousands of behavioural checks and threat indicators to protect asset owners from advanced cyberattacks, network misconfigurations and operational errors.

5 Steps to Combating Emerging Threats with Network Security
In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybercriminals have become more sophisticated than ever, making it crucial to stay abreast of the latest trends and tactics. Protecting ourselves from emerging threats means we can’t continue using the same approach we’ve been taking to network security. Here are five essential steps for combating emerging threats.

Solution Brief: IoT Security
Internet of Things (IoT) devices often remain invisible on enterprise networks. These devices are valuable and often critical corporate assets, but also expand the attack surface and greatly increase organisations’ risks, as they can be compromised and used as entry points into vulnerable networks. Discover how Forescout Platform helps you to identify, manage, and ensure the compliance of IoT devices here.
