Strengthening Your Network Security: Forescout's Modern NAC Solution

Today, enterprises need a way to implement and maintain zero trust access for all types of networks and systems they connect: campus computers, visitor devices, laptops for remote work, or IoT, OT, and smart devices. They also require a network access control (NAC) platform that can:

Zero Trust is harder than it seems Controlling absolutely everything that connects to corporate networks is no easy task. IT technicians and security architects who implement these systems face obstacles such as the following:

Zero Trust is harder than it seems.

Comprehensive Device Visibility

Forescout’s platform provides complete, real-time visibility into all network-connected devices, including IT, IoT, IoMT and OT. Using more than 20 active and passive discovery techniques, it identifies and classifies each asset, facilitating efficient management without blind spots.

Granular Access Control

Forescout enforces access policies based on the principle of least privilege, dynamically assigning devices to appropriate VLANs or applying access control lists based on predefined policies. This agentless approach enables seamless deployment and ensures that only authorized devices have access to specific network resources.

Automation and Policy-Based Response

The solution continuously monitors and validates connected devices, dynamically adapting access privileges and automating responses to anomalous behavior or policy violations. Non-compliant assets are automatically managed to maintain network integrity and security.

Smart Segmentation

Forescout makes it easy to segment your network, managing who can access different parts and when. This functionality supports the principle of least privilege and helps analyze network traffic from a dynamic zoning perspective, informing automated policy planning, deployment, and enforcement. Segmentation restricts traffic flows between assets, reducing the potential for threat propagation.

Recognition in the Industry

Forescout’s effectiveness has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan as an innovation leader in its Network Access Control Frost Radar 2023 report. This recognition underscores Forescout’s commitment to innovation and its ability to address the security concerns of organizations globally.

Forescout’s NAC solution offers a robust and flexible platform that enables organizations to maintain a proactive security posture, adapting to the dynamic needs of the modern business environment.
