It’s a basic truth: You can’t secure what you can’t see.™ Organizations everywhere are realizing that they have a massive and growing visibility gap. With billions of IoT and OT devices coming and going from enterprise networks, agentless device visibility is essential.
DEVICE VISIBILITY
Discover up to 60% more devices than previously known*
The Forescout platform continuously discovers all IP-connected devices—without requiring agents—the instant they enter your network. It provides in-depth visibility into those devices using a combination of active and passive discovery, profiling and classification techniques.
- Automatically discover and classify—no agents required
- Assess device security posture on employee-owned, contractor-owned and IoT/OT devices—without risking business disruption
- Continuously monitor device behavior and compliance as devices come and go from the network
*Based on actual Forescout customer experience.
