The integration between the Xona Platform and the Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 will give industrial and critical infrastructure operators secure, policy-enforced access to operational systems, backed by continuous network visibility and automated enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>As threats to industrial control systems intensify and compliance requirements become more demanding, the integration of Forescout\u2019s continuous device visibility, intelligence, and control with Xona\u2019s secure remote access capabilities enables operators to modernize security without compromising uptime, safety, or regulatory posture. This partnership ensures that every user and device interaction is authenticated, authorized, and audited\u2014delivering secure, compliant, and uninterrupted operations across critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our mission is to help critical infrastructure teams connect securely without exposing critical assets,\u201d said Bill Cantrell, Chief Product &amp; Operating Officer at Xona. \u201cBy integrating with Forescout for OT Security, we\u2019re making that mission easier by enabling real-time asset data and security oversight. This partnership means zero-trust access decisions can now be driven by live context\u2014not just static policies. It\u2019s a major step forward in OT cyber resilience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better Together: Unified Access, Visibility, and Control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best of breed platforms combine the unique strengths of both organizations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zero-Trust Access with Reduced Operational Complexity: <\/strong>Xona delivers secure, browser-based access to critical systems without requiring VPNs, clients, or network tunnels. When paired with Forescout\u2019s real-time asset discovery, security teams can dynamically identify and import assets to configure identity-level controls. This ensures users only access authorized assets and systems, when they\u2019re authorized to access them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context-Aware Policy Enforcement: <\/strong>Forescout\u2019s dynamic risk scoring and segmentation logic automatically influence access permissions and session behavior inside Xona. High-risk assets can be isolated, and user access can be denied or revoked in real time, preventing lateral movement and enforcing least privilege access across the OT environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Built-In Compliance and Session Auditing: <\/strong>Xona\u2019s high-fidelity session recording, file transfer governance, and policy-based controls are now enriched with live network telemetry from Forescout, simplifying audit prep for standards like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, TSA SD2, and OTCC-1. Every session is visible, controlled, and accounted for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Secure Vendor and Third-Party Access Without Exposure: <\/strong>Together, Xona and Forescout eliminate the traditional blind spots around remote access. Contractors, OEMs, and internal users can gain time-limited access with full oversight, without ever exposing underlying network layers or requiring standing credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cOT environments demand both visibility and control,&#8221; said Christina Hoefer, Vice President of OT\/ IoT Vertical and Strategy, Forescout Technologies. &#8220;Our partnership with Xona extends that control to secure remote access, ensuring every session is verified, authorized, and monitored without exceptions. Together, we\u2019re helping customers enforce zero trust principles across their most critical infrastructure to protect OT, IT, and cloud environments at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This integration is purpose-built to support energy and utilities, oil and gas, water, transportation and logistics, and healthcare organizations to drive operational resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together, Xona\u2019s Secure Remote Access Platform and Forescout\u2019s OT Security Solutions Help Industrial Organizations Connect Without Exposing Critical Assets HANOVER, MD \u2013 June 10, 2025 \u2013 Xona, the leading provider of secure access for critical infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Forescout Technologies, a global cybersecurity leader.
