ForeScout, a network security firm, is expanding its platform to protect Internet of Things devices to Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The San Jose, Calif.-based company announced the added AWS support on Thursday, touting it as an agentless, “single-pane-of-glass” solution that gives organizations greater visibility over their AWS deployments, as well as the ever-expanding spectrum of devices that tap into their environments.
CounterACT, ForeScout’s flagship product is designed to protect both corporate-issued devices and non-traditional devices. ForeScout believes this is essential to meet the needs modern organizations. Modern organizations must now cater to a rapidly changing and growing category of endpoint devices due to the popularity of BYOD/IoT.
“Today’s enterprises are moving to the cloud and security silos have been created by the different teams responsible for managing campus to cloud deployments. This can make it difficult to gain maximum visibility into the enterprise’s workloads, something that will only get more important with the proliferation of IP connected devices,” stated Michael DeCesare, CEO of ForeScout. ForeScout provides visibility to enterprises across their network environment to provide universal access and eliminate the need of fragmented approaches.
ForeScout’s AWS compatible solution is immediately available. It allows companies to create one policy that applies to their entire network. This solution is ideal for companies that have public and hybrid clouds assets.
