Endpoint Security Compliance

Regulatory requirements governing the security and protection of confidential data are driving new interest in ForeScout's Network Access Control and Threat Prevention solutions. Enterprises today -- pressed to fulfill regulatory requirements- must prove their security infrastructures are water-tight and are looking to us for help.

Why? Simple. Compliance and policy management go hand-in-hand. And policy management is one of ForeScout CounterACT's greatest strengths.

CounterACT is built for centralized policy management. It provides a strong yet flexible tool for achieving regulatory compliance in global enterprises and federal/health organizations today. Its preconfigured policies and reports help take the guesswork out of regulatory standards such as SOX, HIPAA, FISMA, and PCI.

Network administrators can define security policies and pair them with enforcement actions when violations occur.

Through a variety of detection mechanisms, CounterACT determines whether connecting endpoints are managed employees or unmanaged guests, instantly scans each device for worms and malware, conducts deep interrogation of the device and provides the exact level of enforcement required if a threat is detected.

Based on the predefined policies, CounterACT can isolate devices into their appropriate VLAN and grant role-based access to network resources.

As a device begins to access the network, CounterACT checks to determine compliance with network security policies and - based on these policies -- takes corrective action if the device is found to be non-compliant.

Thereafter, CounterACT ensures continued compliance of all devices as long as they remain connected.

Last -- but certainly not least, CounterACT's standards-aware compliance kits streamline the audit report-building process, saving IT administrators hours of preparation for the regulatory audits.
