Why Forescout?

Required Capabilities for Asset Inventory	Forescout
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
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
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
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
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
