ForeScout Partners with ServiceNow for Improved Asset Management, Compliance and Security Response

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2017) -

• ForeScout Extended Module for ServiceNow provides visibility and configuration monitoring for devices across campus, data center and cloud to improve IT asset management and compliance
• Single-source-of-truth asset repository to help ensure IT teams have access to timely and accurate device information to respond to IT service requests and security incidents
• Generate security incidents based on ForeScout policies and enable ServiceNow to initiate automated remediation actions

ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security company, today announced partnership with ServiceNow, Inc. to help customers gain visibility of assets for better asset management, improved compliance and accelerated response to security incidents. As one of the first steps in this partnership, ForeScout today announced the ForeScout® Extended Module for ServiceNow®. This new integration leverages ForeScout's agentless approach to monitor both physical and virtual devices in real-time across campus, data center and cloud environments and provides context sharing between ForeScout and ServiceNow. Together, the joint solution enables a single-source-of-truth repository that improves asset compliance and security response capabilities. 

"With the proliferation of IoT and other connected devices, it is a challenge for IT teams to see what is on the network, manage their assets and sort through data to respond to malicious behavior," said Michael DeCesare, president and CEO at ForeScout. "By teaming up with ServiceNow, we provide organizations with a joint solution to securely monitor and manage their assets so they can quickly respond to incidents or breaches and make informed security decisions with improved compliance."

Security and IT teams today are faced with several challenges due to an immense volume and diversity of network-connected devices, a highly mobile workforce and virtualized hybrid-cloud environments, making it difficult to track and configure physical and virtual devices as they enter and exit the network. Together, ForeScout and ServiceNow allow for visibility of devices, monitoring for indications of security incidents and rapid response to contain a potential breach. Additionally, the ServiceNow configuration management database (CMDB) is enriched by the contextual device information provided by ForeScout's real-time view of assets.
