What makes ForeScout Technologies an Info Security "Hot Company" 2006
Products & Technologies
Patented Technology - ForeScout’s patented (ActiveResponse) technology is the ultimate answer to a number of challenges facing today’s enterprise networks. ForeScout’s integrated security platform enables network administrators to define and enforce granular network policies that control managed and unmanaged endpoints (i.e. traveling employees, contractors) as well as non-IP devices without a need for a software client. The NAC solution is completely transparent, as the only network users that are aware of it are the ones with non-compliant or infected devices. ForeScout’s solution integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure, making its deployment easy and cost-effective.
Product Strength - ForeScout Technologies produces a comprehensive array of enterprise-level products that are designed to automatically stop fast-spreading, self-propagating malware and malicious human attack in real time. ForeScout's products include: CounterACT, ActiveScout and ACTNet (Accurate Containment of Threat Network).
Proactive Solutions - ForeScout’s solution also provides automated protection against self-propagating malware and malicious hacker attacks. When the Zotob worm began wreaking havoc on networks worldwide, none of ForeScout’s customers were affected – rather, they found out about it when Microsoft issued the security bulletin - their networks were completely unaffected by the outbreak.
