IoT Security Device & Network Solution

Eliminate Blind Spots and Automatically Secure Every IoT Device

Increasing reliance on Internet of Things (IoT) devices for business operations, efficiency, automation and digital transformation initiatives comes with additional risks of an ever-expanding attack surface. Forescout’s Zero Trust approach provides actionable visibility and automated risk-based segmentation and compliance enforcement of every IoT, OT, medical device and IT device the instant they connect to your network without ever requiring an agent. From connection to a device’s end of life, Forescout efficiently manages asset inventory and lifecycle management of every device.

READ SOLUTION BRIEF

Capabilities

IoT security must be based on a Zero Trust approach that combines complete device visibility, proactive network segmentation and least-privilege access control of all digital assets – devices, users, apps and workloads.

Learn More

Complete device visibility and classification

Providing complete visibility into unmanaged and managed IoT, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), OT devices, and IP-connected systems the instant they connect to your network.

Real-time continuous monitoring

Providing real-time insight and continuous monitoring of IoT devices’ communications and risky behaviors.

Assessing devices with weak credentials

Assessing and identifying IoT devices with factory-default or weak credentials and automating policy actions to enforce strong passwords.

Dynamic network segmentation

Segmenting devices into trusted zones by enforcing least-privilege access by Zero Trust policy.

Automated Zero Trust policy orchestration

Automating unified Zero Trust policy orchestration across multi-vendor environments and multiple network domains.

Asset inventory and lifecycle management of all devices

Efficiently manage asset inventory and lifecycle management of every device.

Forescout Differentiators – IoT

Required Capabilities for Implementing IoT	Forescout	Other IoT Solutions
Actionable visibility for every device on your network	Unified platform instantly discovers every device the instant they connect to the network - IoT, IoMT, ICS/OT and IT devices	Focused on IoT only and some IoMT Provide device visibility at the cost of alert fatigue with no automated actions
Automated device classification	Automatically classifies IoT (and every other device on your network) leveraging three-dimensional classification taxonomy (device function & type, operating system & version, vendor & model)	Basic visibility requiring manual intervention
Automated segmentation	Automatically segment based on device classification leveraging passively collected data (device function & type, operating system & version, vendor & model) Eliminates alert fatigue by automatically taking the action that turns red alerts green	Require manual action Most solutions flood with alerts but do nothing to turn red alerts green
Reliance on SPAN ports	SPAN ports are supported but not required	Reliant on SPAN, adding extreme complexity and costs to distributed deployment environments
Scale to enterprise	Proven to scale with multiple deployments of over 2 million devices Proven to scale over a thousand locations	Rely on deployments that require extensive third-party deployments that often run in the millions to tens of millions of dollars

Customer Confidence

“I was able to deploy Forescout within days whereas the competitive solution took weeks just to profile half a lab. The visibility you get is fast and efficient.”
— Neil Clauson, Director of Security Operations

“The whole time-consuming process has now completely disappeared. Effectively, the user makes that change, and the Forescout platform just deals with it, and we don’t have to get involved at all. Our users are happier because they don’t see any interruption to the service. It’s completely transparent to them.”
— Bernard Crane, Infrastructure Architect, Boden

“Forescout gives us the critical integrity piece of the CIA triad. Without integrity, the other two are of no value. You need to be able to trust your systems when they tell you your data is confidential and available. The Forescout platform lets us know whether their data can be trusted.”
— Richard White, Cybersecurity Architect, Tennessee Department of Transportation
