Forescout Technologies unveiled the Forescout Continuum Platform, the industry’s first automated cyber security platform that continuously manages the risk posture of assets across an enterprise’s digital terrain, providing complete coverage of IT, OT, IoT and IoMT devices.
Modern enterprises in all industries from healthcare and government to manufacturing, financial services, transportation and agriculture – are experiencing a constantly fluctuating environment. This change, including device life cycle, applications, people, device decay, software failures and acquisitions, drives misalignment with an organisation’s security framework that creates a gap in security risk posture.
Organisations are dealing with a new level of complexity amid rapid growth in cyber assets and increased cyber security threats and attacks, according to Wael Mohamed, chief executive officer of Forescout.
“Forescout’s Continuum Platform is a powerhouse solution. In addition to automating cyber security actions, Forescout is the only solution that delivers visibility and automation across all types of assets – IT, OT, IoT, IoMT – which collectively represent the digital terrain of your organisation,” Mohamed said.
Forescout’s new Continuum Platform is a cloud-based system offering data-powered insights to decrease total-cost-of-ownership while further accelerating real-time, continuous security automation.
The Continuum Platform is designed to maintain an organisation’s security framework by automating the continuous discovery, assessment and governance for complete coverage of cyber assets to mitigate risk and drive business automation and efficiency.
As a longstanding customer, Liza Gabay, CISO, Hadassah Medical Center, continues to be impressed by the technology innovation that Forescout brings to market after the Continuum Platform’s new Risk Scoring service was implemented at the centre.
“Forescout’s Continuum Platform is a high-value solution that will help us secure our entire environment, including traditional devices and the IoT and medical devices across our medical centre which includes two hospitals, school of medicine, dentistry and nursing.
“Securing our digital terrain, keeping our patients safe and maintaining their medical information are our top priorities.
“Forescout is helping us on that journey with its automated cyber security platform,” Gabay said.
The Continuum Platform adds new features that enables organisations to:
The Continuum Platform is an evolution of 20-plus years of Forescout innovations that are designed to protect many of the world’s largest and most trusted organisations. The platform aims to enhance customers’ security ecosystems with its bi-directional connectivity to dozens of third-party cyber security products, including vulnerability assessment, firewall, configuration management database and more, to provide workflow automation and supplement Forescout’s native discovery, assessment and governance capabilities.
