NETWORK SEGMENTATION
Assess and segment devices on the fly using real-time device context
The Forescout platform uses real-time device context to automate policy-based assignment and enforcement of access control lists and VLANs.
- Continuously discover, profile and monitor physical and virtual devices—without requiring agents—to segment according to your business needs
- Dynamically assign devices to segments to address changes in device behavior, security posture or network modifications
- Integrate with your wired/wireless switches, VPNs, cloud-based management systems, and NGFWs to boost ROI
