Forescout Launches Rapid Insight Assessment to Surface Hidden Exposures Before AI Exploits Them

Low-touch assessment with Forescout Flyaway Kit helps organizations uncover network blind spots, hidden assets, and critical security risks as Frontier AI accelerates vulnerability discovery

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 – Forescout Technologies, Inc., a cybersecurity company focused on asset intelligence, exposure management, and network security, today launched the Rapid Insight Assessment, a low-touch assessment service designed to help organizations quickly understand their exposure risk, surfacing critical security risks, visibility gaps, and hidden exposures across their environment.

Exposure risk has always been hard to see clearly, and the challenge is only compounding. Organizations are struggling to maintain an accurate understanding of their expanding attack surface as shadow assets accumulate, network blind spots widen, unmanaged devices go unnoticed, and external exposures grow over time. Simultaneously, frontier AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, shrinking the time between exposure and exploitation from days to minutes. The Rapid Insight Assessment gives organizations a fast, low-friction way to understand their attack surface, identify what is already exposed, and prioritize risk before it can be exploited.

The Rapid Insight Assessment combines external analysis of open-source intelligence with Forescout’s passive network visibility capabilities to deliver clear exposure insights in days rather than months. For internal assessment scenarios, Forescout’s portable and self-contained Flyaway Kit enables passive network observation in customer environments, helping uncover unknown assets, risky communications, segmentation gaps, and exposed devices without disrupting operations. The Flyaway Kit provides full visibility and security across cyber-physical systems, OT, IT, IoT and unmanaged devices, even in air-gapped or remote environments. By bringing these external and internal perspectives together, the Rapid Insight Assessment delivers actionable findings that help organizations prioritize risk and strengthen cyber resilience.

“When an AI system can discover, connect, and exploit vulnerabilities on its own, the idea of an autonomous attacker is no longer just a future concern,” said Craig Weimer, Vice President and General Manager of Americas, at Forescout. “Recent public disclosures from OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta have shown that frontier AI models are capable of performing complex, multi-step cyber tasks against real environments with limited human involvement. The message for defenders is clear: the window between exposure and exploitation is getting smaller, and organizations need a complete understanding of their attack surface before adversaries find it first.”

The Rapid Insight Assessment helps organizations uncover:

• Hidden public exposure, including remote access services and exploitable protocols accessible from the internet
• Exposed critical administrative interfaces
• Previously unknown devices on the network
• Risky communications and unmanaged IoT and OT devices
• Granular asset intelligence and devices associated with Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs)

“Organizations can’t afford assessment cycles that take months when hidden exposures, network blind spots, and unknown assets can quickly become opportunities for attackers,” continued Weimer. “The Rapid Insight Assessment gives organizations a fast, efficient way to see their most critical security risks and exposure gaps, delivering clear, actionable findings in days so they can address exposures before they become security incidents.”
