Mike DeCesare, president and CEO, ForeScout, said,
“Enterprises continue to be impacted by massive data
breaches and cybersecurity attacks largely due to blind spots
caused by undetected devices. To help solve this problem,
ForeScout and CrowdStrike are forming a new strategic
par tnership that will offer a combination of extended device
discovery, security intelligence and greater control to keep
threats out and strengthen cyber hygiene.
“The collaboration and joint value of two market leading
cybersecurity companies will provide our customers with
increased visibility and advanced threat analytics for better
protection against malicious activity.”
Modern enterprise networks are challenged with managing
increasingly complex environments along with exponential
growth in volume and diversity of devices. The rise of network
connected devices has increased the attack surface, making it
more challenging for organisations to prevent, detect and respond
to cyberattacks. ForeScout and CrowdStrike will streamline
and improve security operations for customers by leveraging
ForeScout’s advanced device visibility and control capabilities
combined with CrowdStrike’s AI enabled threat analytics platform.
“Many security solutions fail to deliver accurate and
meaningful threat insight, which is why organisations are
constantly falling prey to cyberattacks,” said George Kurtz,
co-founder and CEO, CrowdStrike. “With real-time endpoint
detection and response, combined with next-generation threat
prevention and proactive threat hunting, organisations will be
able to gain an advantage in today’s vast threat landscape.
The alliance between ForeScout and CrowdStrike is a better
together approach that will transform how customers protect
their network against today’s cybersecurity challenges and
tomorrow’s threats.”
