Security automation
Tired of being blindsided by agentless devices and rogue systems on your network? What if you could automatically identify, profile and classify them—and continuously monitor their actions as they join and leave your extended enterprise? Now you can.
Transform Your Network Security through Visibility
Network visibility is critical today. Every device on your network is a potential attack or reconnaissance point that must be discovered and secured. These myriad devices fall into three categories:
Managed Devices
Corporate-owned PCs, laptops, mobile devices, virtual machines and infrastructure components require management agents, allowing IT staff to discover, maintain and control them. Those with broken or missing agents can’t be seen or managed by agent-based security products.
Unmanaged Devices
Employees, contractors and visitors use their own laptops, tablets and smartphones to access your network. Since you don’t own these devices, you typically lack authority to put security software agents on them. Therefore, you can’t see them, assess device hygiene or validate their users.
IoT Devices
The majority of new devices connecting to your networks are IoT devices and OT systems for video security, vending, lighting, HVAC—the list grows daily. Most use purpose-built OSs that can’t run software agents and many won’t tolerate active scanning. Traditional security products can’t see them—and neither can you.

Forescout CounterACT® provides in-depth visibility using a combination of active and passive monitoring techniques to discover devices the instant they enter the network—without requiring agents. CounterACT classifies and assesses these devices and virtual instances, then continuously monitors them as they come and go from the network.
CounterACT collects a rich set of data for each of the devices it sees.
