Comply-to-Connect (C2C)

Forescout operationalizes the Comply-to-Connect model pioneered by the US Department of War—an architecture the DOW validated with hundreds of millions in investment. We shift cyber defense from monitoring to enforcement, delivering battle-hardened policies that work across federal enterprises, classified networks, civilian agencies, and critical infrastructure.

Our platform enforces network control in real time: continuous visibility, policy-based access, and instant action. Agencies reduce risk, enforce compliance, and protect mission outcomes at scale.

Comply-to-Connect in less than 6 minutes

Knowing all of the devices on the DoW’s Information Network, or DOWIN, has always been a challenge. And if they don’t know that a device is connected, they can’t defend it or the information on it. Comply-to-Connect, or C2C, is changing all of that.

How will C2C give you the capabilities you need to meet mission objectives?

How will C2C help you get visibility?

Assured connectivity is critical to ops. Managing risk on your network starts with understanding what and who are connected. C2C gives you that capability.

How will C2C help you with compliance assessments?

Trust but verify. To build trusted networks, you need to know your security tools are working properly and policies are enforced. C2C gives you that capability.

How will C2C help you gain control?

Forescout’s Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA) gives agencies control over who and what can access the network continuously, not just at login. Goodbye static, perimeter based access. Hello, Zero Trust. Forescout validates user identity, device posture, and policy compliance before and during every connection. Access is dynamic to conditions, ensuring mission users retain the access they need while actively managing risk.

UZTNA operationalizes Comply to Connect via real time enforcement across heterogeneous federal environments, including managed and unmanaged devices. Stop choosing between access and security with tightly coupled visibility and control. Reduce the attack surface, improve compliance, and secure access that adapts to mission requirements without disrupting operations.

How will C2C provide automated orchestration of your tools?

Your users rely on connectivity to do their mission. Keeping your security and management tools in synch requires automation. C2C gives you that capability.
