Financial Services
Verify continuously. Contain the blast radius. Prove your policy controls.
Financial institutions carry risk they do not directly control. Concentrated SaaS dependencies, compromised suppliers, insecure vendor defaults, and blurred boundaries between third-party services and internal systems all widen exposure. The business consequence is operational: a single supplier or connected asset can interrupt payment processing, branch operations, and trading services, and every one of those interruptions has to be explained to examiners.
Forescout reduces that exposure by validating trust continuously across users, devices, contractors, and partners, containing failures so they stay local, and recording every access decision as audit and investigative evidence.
Universal Zero Trust Network Access and Forescout
Universal ZTNA extends continuous access decisions beyond managed users and laptops to everything else connected to the institution: unmanaged endpoints, contractor and partner devices, IoT, OT, and the cyber-physical systems that sit outside traditional security tooling, across campus, cloud, and remote locations.
The Forescout Vistaro platform delivers that coverage without requiring an endpoint agent for discovery, assessment, and monitoring. Devices that cannot accept software, and devices you do not own, are still identified, evaluated, and governed by policy.
Business outcomes with Forescout Vistaro AI
Reduce exposure you inherit from third parties
Shared SaaS platforms, managed service providers, or connected vendors create one path into many systems at once. Continuous verification and least-privilege access keep that path from creating an institution-wide compromise.
Keep disruption local when something fails
Segmentation across campus, cloud, and remote locations limits how far any single compromise travels, and extends security policy to ATMs, physical security systems, and building management.
Shorten the time between leading risk indicators and response
Automated workflows across EDR, SIEM, SOAR, firewalls, CMDBs, and threat intelligence convert platform observation into automated enforcement.
Prove that policy is enforced, not just written
Comprehensive logging covers authentication requests, authorization decisions, posture assessments, and network movements, supporting requirements for DORA, FINRA, GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX, SWIFT, GDPR, and other applicable regulations.
