Complete Asset Inventory

Real-time asset inventory across all physical and virtual devices - IoT, IoMT, OT, mobile devices and network infrastructure - across your campus, data center, cloud and oT networks.

Device Auto-classification

Use profiling information to auto-classify devices as they connect to the network - by function and type, operating system and version and/or the vendor and model.

Agentless visibility

Gain unparalleled visibility into all IP-connected devices across your extended enterprise the instant they connect to the network – no agents required.

Passive profiling

Passive-only profiling techniques to gain device visibility into sensitive IoT, IoMT, OT and critical infrastructure systems without impacting system uptime, introducing operational risk or disrupting critical business processes.

20+ Active and Passive scanning techniques.

Use numerous active scanning techniques to provide you with more in-depth information.

Efficiently manage the security posture and lifecycle of devices.

Use classification attributes to automatically apply security policies for compliance, network access controls, segmentation and incident response.

Share contextual data with security operations, help desk staff and ITAM tools such as ServiceNow.

Rich device context to prioritize and remediate issues. Leverage policy driven remediation to to restrict or block access of non-compliant devices.

Why Forescout?

Required Capabilities for Asset Inventory	Forescout	Other Asset Inventory Solutions
Discover and assess every device on your network	Unified platform instantly and automatically discovers every device the instant it connects to the network (IoT, IoMT, ICS/OT and IT) Automatically classifyies and segments every device Update asset repository with real-time hardware and software information Not reliant on SPAN	Focused on IT devices found in the data center and limited to no ability to see and monitor every device Many solutions rely on SPAN Provides visibility only for required manual actions to be taken
Periodic scans	Eliminates blind spots by not relying on periodic scans Real-time visibility for every IoT, IoMT, OT and IT device the instant they connect to the network	Rely on periodic scans; lack real-time visibility Those products that don’t rely on periodic scans only provide visibility and give alerts
Continuous awareness and device monitoring	Actionable visibility the instant a device connects to the network Aware of device configuration, including operating system, installed software and vulnerabilities Automatically enforce security and IT policies	Many products rely on the point-in-time periodic scans Most do not provide continuous monitoring of every device natively
Integration with ITSMs	Integrates with ITSM solutions (such as ServiceNow), automating workflows that reduce security risks and operational costs Shares extensive device properties, configuration information and network context, which keeps your CMDB/asset repository updated in real time without requiring 802.1x Automatically create “intelligent” incidents within ITSM or Security Operations Facilitate network and system-level incident responses and remediation actions Reduce inventory audit costs by automating manual tasks	For those that integrate with ITSMs, they either lack the ability to see every device or there is no automated action taken
Keep unauthorized devices out	Identifies devices in real time, sharing information with CMDB as well as collecting additional properties from the CMDB Authenticates the device against CMDB asset data, automatically assigning to authorized VLAN Continuously monitors and creates an IT or security incident ticket if the device deviates from policy When device is stolen, retired or at its end of life, updating the CMDB tells Forescout to deny network access, and create an incident	Do not see every device or require manual action to be taken
