FORESCOUT SETS NEW STANDARD FOR
SECURING THE ENTERPRISE OF THINGS
orescout Technologies,
F
a leader in Enterprise of
Things (EoT) security,
has announced new capabilities
and platform updates to deliver an
active defence for the Enterprise of
Things by identifying, segmenting
and enforcing compliance of every
connected thing. Latest innovations
help accelerate Zero Trust adoption,
enable IT–OT convergence, reduce
threat exposure and contain
breach impact.
“The modern enterprise is
an Enterprise of Things. As
organisations benefit from increased
connectivity, they have a unique
challenge of securing a complex
network of desktops, laptops,
servers, mobile devices, OT systems
along with a rapidly expanding IoT
ecosystem,” said Michael DeCesare,
CEO and President, Forescout
Technologies. “Forescout is setting
the gold standard for securing the
Enterprise of Things and giving
our customers the ability to isolate,
automate control and take action
across any asset, anywhere, anytime
to mitigate risk and operate fearlessly,
without worrying about keeping critical
assets online.”
Available now, the updated platform
helps accelerate Zero Trust
implementation across modern
enterprise environments without
disruption. Forescout eyeSegment
simplifies and streamlines enterprise
segmentation via new integrations
with Forescout eyeInspect, formerly
called SilentDefense, and Medigate,
a leading medical device security
and asset management solution.
Forescout announced its partnership
with Medigate earlier this year to help
healthcare organisations accurately
and comprehensively identify, monitor
and secure every medical device on the
clinical network.
The new integrations allow
organisations to reduce attack
surface, maintain compliance and
minimise breach impact across IT,
IoT, healthcare and Operational
Technology (OT) environments.
