Forescout Secure Remote Access (SRA)
Reduce Exposure Across Critical Operations
Remote access is essential to operational continuity, yet in many CPS environments, it remains one of the least-governed and insecure paths into critical systems. Vendors, system integrators, and field engineers need remote connectivity to keep operations running, but traditional VPNs and jump servers were designed to extend networks, not control interactions. That leaves exposure that is hard to see, harder to govern, and easy to miss until something goes wrong. Forescout SRA brings remote access back under control.
Four Questions that Expose the Gaps in Remote Operations
Are you controlling remote access to critical systems or creating exposure you cannot fully see or govern? Remote access becomes a risk when organizations cannot answer four basic questions with confidence.
How Many Connections Do We Actually Have?
Are you seeing the full remote access picture or only the connections your team already knows about?
Who Is Actually Connecting?
Beyond the shared account, can you verify the actual user behind each session at the exact moment access begins?
What Are They Allowed to Reach?
Are users limited to the specific systems in scope or are they getting broader reach than the task actually requires?
What Happens Once the Session Starts?
Can you see and control what happens live or do you have to review hours of video before you know what went wrong?
If you struggle to answer, it may be time to rethink your remote access strategy.
Secure Remote Access Rebuilt for Critical Operations
A flexible, secure remote access approach designed to support different users, needs, and operational scenarios.
Forescout SRA answers those questions directly. It replaces broad remote connectivity with a controlled access layer that governs how users connect to critical systems, what they can reach, and what can happen during the session.
Expose Hidden Access
You cannot control remote access that you do not know exists. Forescout SRA helps uncover hidden and unmanaged connections, so shadow access no longer sits outside governance.
Govern the Full Workflow
Remote access is not just a connection. Forescout SRA brings request, approval, duration, and audit into one governed workflow, so teams can enforce policy and support compliance end to end.
Identity and Trust
Authentication is only the starting point. Forescout SRA combines identity-based access with controlled, isolated sessions to protect critical assets after access begins.
Full CPS protocol understanding
Generic access logs do not tell the real story in OT. Forescout SRA brings industrial context into remote access, so teams see more than a connection event.
Real-Time Session Awareness
Screenshots capture moments and recordings capture history, but Forescout SRA helps teams understand what is happening live while there is still time to respond.
Every Access Scenario
A flexible approach to secure remote access that supports different users, use cases, and operational requirements while helping organizations move beyond VPNs and jump servers.
Access Built for Operational Reality
Forescout SRA supports on-prem, cloud, and hybrid deployments with options for appliances, virtual machines, and containers on existing hardware. This gives organizations a practical way to align secure remote access with how each site operates and who needs access.
- Brokered Access: Keeps user endpoints away from critical systems.
- Zero-Footprint: Delivers browser-based access without the need for VPN or endpoint clients
- Fast Deployment: From lightweight setup to broader platform capabilities.
- Credential Vaulting: Keeps privileged credentials hidden from users.
- Session Monitoring: Records remote activity for oversight, investigation, and audit evidence.
- Context Awareness: Connects remote activity to asset, process, and risk in real time.
Manage SRA Beyond the Connection
This is where the real challenge begins, because not every connection is equal, and not everyone should be treated the same
Forescout SRA is built for OT and CPS environments where vendors, OEMs, contractors, and internal teams all need access, often across distributed sites where uptime cannot be compromised and governance cannot be left to local workarounds.
Choose the Right Forescout SRA Path
Forescout SRA is available as a standalone solution or as part of the broader Forescout 4D Platform™. Each option adds a different layer of capability, so organizations can align secure remote access to the needs they have today and expand from there. Take secure remote access from isolated control to platform-scale execution.
Within the 4D Platform™, Forescout SRA becomes part of a broader CPS security model, connecting remote access governance with asset intelligence, risk context, identity, policy, and orchestration. Teams can control who connects, what they can reach, and what happens inside each session while aligning access decisions with the security posture of the environment.
