Description
Security policy templates use existing Forescout CounterACT® functionality to detect, evaluate, and respond to vulnerabilities and threats – speeding and simplifying your network response. When this plugin is installed, security policy templates are available in the Policy view of the Console under the Vulnerability and Response sub-folder in the Templates tree.
To work with these templates, it is recommended to:
- Read the release notes and review the policy logic in the Console’s Policy view.
- Enable/add mitigation actions to generated policies.
For details of working with CounterACT policies, see the Console User Manual.
Policy Templates in This Release
The following template is new or has been significantly updated in this release:
VR Mirai
Policies you create with this template will evaluate whether the endpoints in the policy scope are vulnerable to Mirai and will add them to the correct group. It will detect potentially vulnerable devices. Once vulnerable devices are detected, you can apply controls that proactively prevent security breaches, data leakage and DDoS attacks. This policy evaluates both managed and unmanaged endpoints. No credentials are required for endpoint login.
Requirements:
CounterACT 7.0.0 with Service Pack 3.0.0 or above.
Advanced Tools Plugin release 2.2.0.1 or above installed and running.
Make sure that a Primary Classification policy is running on relevant endpoints, and The Add to Group actions in the classification policy is enabled.
