Forescout

Forescout provides cybersecurity technology focused on discovering, classifying and securing connected devices across enterprise, IoT, OT and healthcare environments. Its platform gives security teams visibility into devices that connect to networks and helps organizations assess device risk before granting access. Network access control capabilities can enforce policies based on device identity, security posture and context. Forescout also provides specialized security for operational technology and IoT environments where unmanaged or legacy devices can create significant exposure. Its technology can identify device types, detect anomalous behavior and support segmentation or remediation actions. Its main value is giving organizations visibility into connected assets that may not support traditional endpoint agents. Organizations evaluating Forescout should consider device coverage, network architecture, NAC requirements, OT protocols, healthcare environments and integration with SIEM and security operations platforms. It is particularly relevant to organizations with large populations of unmanaged or specialized devices that need continuous visibility and policy-based access control.
