Security Advisories
Security advisories are provided to inform our customers, partners and those evaluating our solutions of security vulnerabilities found in ForeScout products, and the required steps to mitigate them.
Visit ForeScout Communities to obtain a list of security advisories.
If you identify a new vulnerability, please email:
support@forescout.com and include all details including the source of the public reference.
Advanced Hardware Replacement
ForeScout will provide hardware replacement for a defective product. We will send the replacement product to the customer prior to receiving the defective product. Delivery of replacement products occurs in accordance with the level of ActiveCare purchased.
Escalation Process
Technical support cases are maintained and tracked following industry standard practices. If an issue arises that is not quickly resolved, a proven escalation process, as outlined in our ActiveCare Maintenance and Support Policy, ensures issue-resolution continuity. This may require updating software to the current version.
End-of-Life and ActiveCare Policies
The ForeScout End-of-Life (EOL) Policy outlines the product support lifecycle and guidelines for the ForeScout CounterACT® product line. Only customers who are operating ForeScout CounterACT products that are under a valid ActiveCare maintenance and support agreement are entitled to the benefits associated with the EOL policy.
