The market has spoken yet again in favor of easily-implemented, switch-agnostic network access control solutions. This month, InfoWorld awarded Virginia’s Culpeper County Government their prestigious InfoWorld 100 Award for the agency’s cyber security initiative and implementation of ForeScout CounterACT.
In addition to this award, in the last three months ForeScout has received a 5-star rating from SC Magazine, was named a finalist in the Government Security News 2009 Homeland Security Award, and won the 2009 Best Deployment Scenario award from Info Security.
In today’s environment, organizations must balance the demand for heightened network security with the need for immediate return on their investments. Vast overhauls to the network infrastructure are expensive. Customers don’t want it.
Culpeper County selected ForeScout over other NAC vendors because ForeScout was the only solution which they looked at (and they looked at 8 different NAC solutions) which could be deployed with zero upgrades or changes to the network infrastructure. ForeScout CounterACT plugged into Culpeper County’s existing network and began delivering immediate value.
The market research firm Infonetics recently commented that the latest generation of NACsolutions is far more easily deployed than the first generation. We agree, and we are happy to be leading the charge.
