Forescout.

The Forescout Platform is designed to enable customers to manage cyber risk and mitigate threats more effectively, with seamless context sharing and workflow orchestration via ecosystem partners. Its comprehensive capabilities include:

Network Security

Many organizations rely on traditional software agents to monitor and protect the endpoints on their networks. However, the growth of connected assets in today’s enterprises increases the attack surface and creates new network blind spots where cyber risk goes unchecked.

Forescout’s Network Security solution provides the ability to assess, segment and enforce, with proactive and reactive controls. Offering continuous real-time compliance assessment, flexible modern network access control and dynamic segmentation management, it automates workflows across disparate tools to accelerate system-wide response to risk and threats.

Risk and Exposure Management

Organisations’ security investments sometimes focus on worst-case scenarios rather than tackling root causes and, with vulnerability management strategies only covering a portion of the attack surface, overlooked or forgotten device types can be high-value targets for attackers.

Forescout Risk and Exposure Management provides comprehensive asset intelligence to proactively safeguard the network and continuously track the cybersecurity risk posture of all connected devices. It provides the foundation for understanding the security posture of attack surfaces, calculating a multi-factor risk score based on configuration, function and behaviour, to drive effective remediation of exposure gaps through risk-based prioritisation.

Threat detection and response

Cybersecurity is now a top priority for many organisations. The number, frequency and types of attacks are increasing, and the consequences of these are growing. Thwarting these sophisticated cyberattacks requires equally sophisticated threat detection, investigation and response capabilities.

Despite advances, legacy SIEMs still cost too much, are hard to configure and produce too many alerts, making threat detection difficult and time consuming. Forescout XDR is a state-of-the-art solution that enriches and analyses IT, IoT and OT telemetry across the entire enterprise. Vendor and EDR agnostic, it collects data from a wide range of sources; correlates attack signals to generate high-fidelity threats for analyst investigation; and enables automated response actions from across the enterprise.

Phil Swainson, Head of Technology at Kedron UK, says: “Despite the fact that today’s cybersecurity breaches can be the result of increasingly sophisticated methods, many attackers are still exploiting basic vulnerabilities. Traditional tools often lack the sophistication to deal effectively with all types of threat – and that’s where Forescout comes in.

“The solutions available as part of the Forescout Platform provide enhanced protection in a user-friendly format, covering all bases across enterprise networks to make this a must-have for organisations serious about cybersecurity.”
