Forescout Sets a New Standard for Securing the Enterprise of Things

• Company updates its platform to deliver an active defense for the modern enterprise
• New segmentation capabilities enable Zero Trust security across the enterprise – at scale, from cloud to edge
• Latest innovations in operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) protection streamline threat analysis, compliance automation and risk mitigation

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCT), the leader in Enterprise of Things security, today 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.
