ForeScout Announces Advanced Threat Mitigation Capabilities to Enable Rapid Response to APTs and Breaches
April 2015 by Marc Jacob
ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a provider of continuous monitoring and mitigation solutions for Global 2000 enterprises and government organisations, today announced new ControlFabric integrations with several industry-leading advanced threat detection (ATD) solutions. These integrations allow customers to quickly and automatically contain advanced persistent threats (APTs), and ultimately disrupt their propagation in the corporate network environment. ForeScout’s current ecosystem of ATD partners includes leading vendors such as Bromium, Damballa, Invincea and Palo Alto Networks.
ATD solutions help protect organisations against targeted APTs and zero-day malware. By integrating with ForeScout CounterACT via the ControlFabric architecture, ForeScout customers can leverage their NAC environment to automate the mitigation of detected threats and provide an enhanced scope of the attack, ultimately reducing the response time.
ATD/CounterACT Integration
ForeScout CounterACT works with ATD solutions to provide an effective approach to risk management and threat mitigation. The joint solutions provide real-time visibility and compliance management of devices on the network, effective response to APTs and zero-day threats, and automation to efficiently and accurately mitigate endpoint risks and advanced threats.
ForeScout CounterACT™ exemplifies ForeScout’s leadership in continuous monitoring and mitigation. Leveraging next-generation NAC technology, the CounterACT platform provides real-time visibility to users, devices, including BYOD devices, systems and applications and allows IT organisations to centrally apply granular policies to understand their true security posture and to automatically respond to a wide variety of security issues. Powered by ControlFabric™ technology, the platform also enables network, security and management solutions to dynamically exchange information, which, in turn, allows enterprises to respond to issues more effectively and better leverage their existing security investments.
