IDC Business Value White Paper
Customers have 18% more devices in compliance after deploying the Forescout platform. Learn why.
There’s no gray area when it comes to compliance. To hackers and regulators, partial compliance is noncompliance. Vulnerable platforms, unpatched devices and default passwords expose your network to substantial risk, creating compliance gaps that continue to widen as more devices are added or become virtual and extend into the cloud.
DEVICE COMPLIANCE
Gain real-time compliance. No periodic scans. Period.
With the Forescout platform you can automate the process of bringing devices into compliance and keeping them that way. It validates that physical and virtual devices meet your compliance criteria, and takes immediate action when they don’t.
- Assess who, what, where, OS versions and more of your devices in seconds
- Detect missing/broken agents without waiting weeks for point-in-time VA scans
- Control system configurations and manage weak or default passwords—even on agentless IoT devices
State Garden Case Study
State Garden uses Forescout to gain agentless visibility of managed, unmanaged and IoT devices as they connect to its network and enforces compliance by sending unknown devices to a restricted VLAN for scanning and authorization.
