- Accelerate and automate policy-driven threat response across device types and network tiers
Stronger Endpoint Compliance & Control
Forescout eyeExtend for VMware Workspace ONE® UEM, powered by AirWatch® enables bi-directional integration between the Forescout platform and VMware Workspace ONE, powered by AirWatch. The joint solution provides unified configuration and security policy management of endpoint devices on your network regardless of the type (PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone), the connection (wired, wireless, VPN, remote) or ownership (corporate or personal). By combining Forescout and VMware Workspace ONE/AirWatch, you have the power to:
- Continuously enforce endpoint configuration and segmentation compliance and prevent rogue-device access
- Automate remediation, including enrollment with Workspace ONE/AirWatch
- Enhance and automate threat response with policy-driven network and host controls
Secure Your Private Cloud
The Forescout platform includes integration with VMware vSphere® Suite and NSX® to reduce risk and optimize utilization for your software-defined data center or private cloud—without requiring agents. Forescout helps you:
- Discover, classify and assess VMs< and hosts in real time
- Automatically allow, deny or segment VMs per policy, including micro-segmentation via NSX
- Proactively identify and address orphan, zombie, shadow and transient VMs not detected by periodic scans
Success Stories
Read Case Study“We were up and running with the Forescout platform in just a few weeks, and received fantastic intelligence almost immediately. That alone was worth the cost of the solution, as our team was much better informed, and ultimately able to make more effective decisions.”

Read Case Study“Forescout opened our eyes. It was like—wait a minute—we have 20,000 devices? We thought we had a fraction of that.”
— Jason Arnold, Network Infrastructure Manager, Prince George’s County, Maryland
Read Case Study“Forescout’s ease of implementation and support for hybrid environments made it the logical choice for us. Value and ROI were clearly superior with Forescout.”
