Research
IoT devices can’t accommodate security agents, making them cyberattack entry points. Cybersecurity solutions must offer agentless discovery and classification in real time, detect anomalies and automate policy-based controls.
WHY FORESCOUT
Reduce Risk of Business Disruption
Minimize operational risk by passively discovering and profiling devices. The Forescout platform inspects network traffic and monitors networking activities—without disrupting operations. It also removes traditional blind spots within your enterprise network and provides an accurate, real-time inventory of devices without scanning or accessing connected devices.
Remove Blind Spots Within Your Extended Enterprise
Learn how the Forescout platform provides visibility and control of IoT devices that are invisible to traditional security products.
Increase Security Operations Productivity
Auto-classify IoT devices to save time and gain an essential efficiency foundation for security policies, network access controls, device compliance and network segmentation.
The Forescout platform:
