Forescout Technologies, Inc. announced
new capabilities and platform updates to deliver an active defense for the
Enterprise of Things (EoT) 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 organizations 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."
Enterprise-Wide Zero Trust
Segmentation
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 organizations
accurately and comprehensively identify, monitor and secure every medical
device on the clinical network.
The new integrations allow
organizations to reduce attack surface, maintain compliance and minimize breach
impact across IT, IoT, healthcare and operational technology (OT) environments.
Continuous monitoring of segmentation hygiene provides an instant understanding
of new risks due to the expanded interconnectivity between traditional IT,
cyber-physical and clinical technology domains.
Operational Technology and
Industrial Control System Protection
Forescout eyeInspect delivers new
innovation in OT and ICS protection to drive increased business value by
consolidating security analyst tools, correlating alerts and automating
compliance tasks. Available later this year, a new purpose-built user interface
streamlines network monitoring, threat alerting and risk mitigation workflows
for security operations (SOC) teams. Non-disruptive segmentation within the OT
network stack enables isolation of vulnerable or legacy systems, while limiting
the blast radius of security exposures and ICS threats.
Policy Enforcement with
Next-Generation Firewalls for IT-OT Segmentation
Forescout provides enhanced
segmentation enforcement capabilities for organizations embracing IT-OT
convergence via our eyeExtend modules. This enables IT and OT security analysts
to collaborate on risk mitigation and to prevent threats from crossing across
IT and OT domains. Customers can leverage the latest release of eyeExtend for
Palo Alto Networks NGFW to integrate with Panorama network security management
and VM-Series virtual firewalls, as well as use App-ID support and improved
tagging for granular policy enforcement.
