Network Segmentation Best Practices for Your Digital Terrain

Simplify Network Segmentation for Today’s Zero Trust World

As network perimeters have disappeared, the need for network segmentation has dramatically increased. Network segmentation, a core tenet of zero trust and least-privilege initiatives, can be difficult to implement. Forescout helps accelerate segmentation adoption with dynamic, context-driven capabilities – and without complexity, excessive cost or negative impacts to your operations.

READ SOLUTION BRIEF

Network Segmentation Capabilities

Forescout helps streamline network segmentation projects across network domains (cloud, data center, campus, and IT/IoT/OT/IoMT) to reduce the attack surface and maintain compliance. The Forescout Continuum Platform’s multi-layered approach to dynamic zero trust segmentation spans all network domains, enabling a granular and unified approach across multivendor enforcement technologies.

Simulate operational impacts

Minimize business disruption by simulating new or updated policies using live traffic to understand the effects on production environments.

Continuously monitor environmental health

Possess a real-time understanding of device and policy hygiene to quickly respond to policy violations across your digital terrain.

Improve operational efficiency

Dynamically enforce controls across different enforcement technologies and network domains.

Maximize ROI

Leverage your existing security stack and remove silos between technologies.

Removing the Complexity from
Zero Trust Network Segmentation

Forescout simplifies segmentation policy planning, design and implementation across heterogeneous networks using a unique, three-tier architecture.

A policy layer abstracted from your infrastructure enables you to visualize all device connections and communications easily, simulate new or modified policies before putting them into production and respond to any violations without disrupting operations.

A control orchestration layer coordinates control actions across your existing infrastructure, including legacy switching, SDN, cloud, NGFWs and agent-based solutions.

An enforcement layer comprises the infrastructure and agent-based controls throughout your extended network.

READ USE CASES

Customer Confidence

“Forescout is like having an automatic threat hunter on the team that hunts for threats around the clock across our global network. Tasks that would have taken hours now take just minutes.”
— Nick Duda, Principal Security Engineer, HubSpot

“Forescout showed us things that we didn’t know existed – mainly biomedical and environmental devices that were plugged into our network and talking out of the network as well.”
— CISO, major Florida medical center

“To gain the functionality that Forescout provides – from seeing and managing assets to triggering control actions and accelerating zero trust segmentation – we would have needed multiple tools. Going with Forescout was far more cost-effective.”
— Jeff Haidet, Director of Application Development and Architecture, South Central Power Co.
