IoT Security
Automate IoT Security and Eliminate Blind Spots for Every 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, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) 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 Continuum Platform efficiently manages asset inventory and lifecycle management of every device.
READ SOLUTION BRIEF
IoT Security 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.
Complete device visibility and classification
Providing complete visibility into unmanaged and managed IoT, 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 device 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 managing asset inventory and the lifecycle of every device.
Forescout Differentiators – IoT Cybersecurity
| Required Capabilities for Implementing IoT Security | Forescout |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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) |
| Automated segmentation | Automatically segments 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 |
| Scale to enterprise | Proven to scale with multiple deployments of over 2 million devices Proven to scale over a thousand locations |
IoT Cybersecurity Customer Confidence
Learn More“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
Learn More“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
Learn More“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
