Simplify Zero Trust Security for the Enterprise of Things
Today’s modern enterprise environments are an Enterprise of Things that extends from campus to data center to cloud and no longer has a clearly defined perimeter. In other words, you can’t trust anyone, which is why Forrester, anticipating these trends, originated the Zero Trust security model back in 2010.
According to Forrester, “A Zero Trust (ZT) architecture abolishes the idea of a trusted network inside a defined corporate perimeter. ZT mandates that enterprises create microperimeters of control around their sensitive data assets to gain visibility into how they use data across their ecosystem to win, serve, and retain customers.”1
Forrester Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) Framework
Forrester’s Zero Trust eXtended framework is widely recognized as a logical and effective approach to cybersecurity. Currently, no single vendor solves all of the requirements for Zero Trust implementation. In 2019, Forrester named Forescout as a Zero Trust platform, thanks in part to foundational capabilities that align very closely with Forrester’s ZTX framework. Working within the Zero Trust framework, the Forescout platform:
You Want to Get to Zero Trust. We Can Help You Get There.
Forescout helps you build a Zero Trust architecture based on best practices, from identifying, continuously monitoring and controlling connected devices – including critical assets – to orchestrating the security and infrastructure technologies already deployed in your environment. We recommend a simplified three-step maturity plan for deploying Zero Trust architecture:
“Forescout is the vendor for Zero Trust IoT/OT focused security. IoT/OT device security is one of the hardest problems to solve within the enterprise. This is Forescout’s sweet spot, and the vendor’s platform capabilities for IoT/OT security shine above those of the competition.”
