Simplify Zero Trust Security for the Enterprise of Things

The Zero Trust model of information security has quickly become a hot topic among corporate security executives and a top priority within security teams. With today’s edgeless enterprises spanning public and private clouds, work-from-anywhere, and complex supply chain alliances, a Zero Trust approach is essential for an effective defense.

100% DEVICE VISIBILITY & CONTROL ACROSS YOUR EDGELESS ENTERPRISE

In 2019, Forrester named Forescout as a Zero Trust platform, thanks in part to foundational capabilities that align very closely with Forrester’s Zero Trust Extended framework. Working within this framework, the Forescout platform:

“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.”
— Forrester Research, October 2019

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:

Zero Trust Maturity Plan


	Identify	Segment	Enforce
Maturity Levels	Discovery, classify and access the risk of every connected thing.	Dynamically group and isolate enterprise things to minimize breach impact.	Automate execution of security policies across enterprise systems.
Basic	Automate discovery and classification of targeted assets with complete context Begin defining zones based on logical business taxonomy of users, devices, applications and services	Gain instant understanding of the current segmentation state in real time Start designing Zero Trust control polices and simulate impact before enforcing	Quickly implement manual controls to eliminate trust and minimize immediate risk
Intermediate	Continue improving and adding logical zones structure/definition based on logical business taxonomy	Design additional policies and continue to model/monitor potential impact of change before enforcing Stay in monitoring mode to validate policy enforcement effectiveness	Implement control automation based on designed policies to eliminate policy violations
Advanced	Refine/rationalize enterprise-wide logical group structures and definitions based on logical business taxonomy	Automate policy orchestration after testing, change control & approvals Continuously monitor segmentation hygiene to assure Zero Trust security effectiveness	Automate real-time policy enforcement across your entire EoT environment
