ForeScout CounterACT identifies and assesses devices, systems, applications and users on the network, and provides policy-based enforcement and security orchestration to mitigate security risks, advanced threats and data breaches.

• Real-time visibility and intelligence: CounterACT is a continuous monitoring and mitigation platform that provides real-time visibility of the devices, risks and threats within complex IT environments. CounterACT’s agent-less approach reveals both managed and unmanaged devices on the network, including BYOD Windows 10 endpoints.

• Secure network access: Organisations need to enforce network access based on user, device and security posture so that they can implement best-practice network segmentation for guests, contractors, business partners and employees. ForeScout allows organisations to onboard Windows 10 devices brought by guests and employees in a secure manner and provide them access to only the network resources they require to remain productive.

• Superior endpoint compliance: CounterACT helps organisations ensure that Windows 10 endpoints are compliant with their security policies and can share real-time context about Windows 10 devices with other security systems such as SIEM, NGFW, EPP and patch management systems.

Frank Dickson, research director, information & network security, Frost & Sullivan said: “Windows 10 offers customers a more seamless experience across devices as expected by consumer and business users alike. While BYOD is convenient for employees, it can potentially be a nightmare for IT organisations. As the consumerisation of IT continues to proliferate across enterprise organisations, the need for complete and continuous visibility into the devices and risks on the network is even more important to maintain maximum security. ForeScout enables enterprise organisations to be prepared for the expected surge of BYOD devices running on Microsoft’s latest operating system.”
