Operational Technology and Critical Infrastructure
Can you identify what’s on your OT network? Do you worry that needed security will impact your equipment’s production uptime? Protecting the connected services of the information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems that keep critical infrastructure running 24/7 continues to be a challenge. Expanding the visibility is the first step in reducing the risk.
How Forescout Helps
Immediately expand your visibility for converged IT and OT networks with device-level security. Forescout uses non-disruptive techniques to gain views of the network landscape and see what was previously invisible, providing:
“Without full knowledge of interconnected assets,… defenders are effectively working blindly, unable to make adequately informed decisions regarding which controls to implement, or how to prioritize security plans and spending.”
Real Time Visibility
The Forescout platform builds a real-time asset inventory of IP-based devices without impacting performance or reliability. Forescout conducts non-disruptive asset discovery and classification by integrating with existing network, monitoring and inventory sources. These discovery and classification techniques construct a comprehensive asset repository to ensure access to timely and accurate device information. It also allows you to respond to service requests and security incidents with knowledge instead of guesswork. This asset inventory integrates with most configuration management database (CMDB) platforms.
