Cybersecurity Capabilities for Government Agencies<\/h2>\n
The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122<\/sup> helps government IT, OT and security professionals protect data, secure access to government resources, manage cyber risks and demonstrate compliance for Government and Public-sector Entities. Forescout provides a multi-layered defense capability for major Federal programs, such as Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM)<\/a>, Comply-to-Connect (C2C)<\/a>, and meeting Zero Trust Security mandates<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a recognized technology collaborator in NIST SP 1800-35<\/a>, Forescout empowers agencies with real-time asset discovery and enforcement capabilities, delivering actionable visibility into both managed and unmanaged assets.<\/p>\n Enforce a Zero Trust security architecture and limit access to information, services and applications resources through policy.<\/p>\n Continuously discover and classify IoT, OT, and IT endpoints in real time to build a dynamic inventory of all connected devices. This visibility enables organizations to assess risk, enforce access policies, and detect unmanaged or rogue assets across hybrid environments.<\/p>\n Dynamically segment the network to contain threats and limit lateral movement. By isolating devices, users, and workloads based on identity, behavior, and risk posture, segmentation enforces least-privilege access and reduces the blast radius of potential breaches across IT, OT, and IoT environments.<\/p>\n Identify inactive or under-utilized software for cost savings or consolidation and remove outdated software that poses increased threat from legacy vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n Understand all connected devices, including unmanaged and rogue devices, to determine impact of known vulnerabilities and automate mitigation response (block, patch, etc.), saving labor and reducing time to repair.<\/p>\n Continuously monitor for the presence of required software, unauthorized software, rogue devices, configuration changes, etc. to meet NERC CIP Gain insight into running embedded software and applications on managed and unmanaged devices.<\/p>\n Identify and assess all connected OT\/ICS and IoT assets and leverage 15+ years of OT-specific threat research to detect any threat to operational continuity, from operational issues to advanced cyberattacks, and use actionable insights to prioritize response.<\/p>\n See How<\/a><\/p>\n If connectivity is limited, securing critical assets doesn\u2019t have to be. Deliver asset intelligence, detection, and control \u2013 anywhere \u2013 with our portable cybersecurity\u00a0kit.<\/p>\n Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n Knowing all of the devices on DODIN, the DoD\u2019s Information Network, has always been a challenge. If you don\u2019t know that a device is connected, you can\u2019t defend it or the information on it. Comply-to-Connect (C2C) is changing all of that.<\/p>\n Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n Identify and Mitigate Risk Through the\u00a0CDM\u00a0Program<\/strong><\/p>\n The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122<\/sup> is the centerpiece of your CDM solution by helping you:<\/p>\n Mitigate vulnerabilities and quickly respond to incidents with automated, real-time visibility of endpoints as they connect to your network.<\/p>\n Establish a real-time inventory of devices, hardware, operating systems, applications, patch levels, open ports, peripheral devices, users and more.<\/p>\n Limit network access to authorized users and devices with or without 802.1X.<\/p>\n Assess the security and compliance posture of endpoints in real time, both pre- and post-connection.<\/p>\n Automate remediation of noncompliant endpoints by auto-updating endpoint configurations, patches and updates, and install, activate, or disabling applications or peripherals.<\/p>\n Produce real-time compliance reports and shorten detection interval latency (DIL) by initiating compliance scans as hosts connect, rather than waiting for time-based scans.<\/p>\n learn more<\/a><\/p>\n See exactly how the DoD uses eyeSight and eyeInspect within the Sentinel platform to discover, monitor, and remediate its OT and IT networks in real\u00a0time.<\/p>\n Enforce a unified network security policy to address the NIST Cybersecurity Framework family of controls, including:<\/p>\n Detect all IP-based endpoints on the network, including unmanaged devices, IoT, rogue devices; assess their cybersecurity posture; and enforce access policies to the network and within network segments.<\/p>\n Maintain consistent configurations across the enterprise. Maintain and control deviations from configuration policies. Enforce \u201cleast functionality\u201d by identifying and removing unnecessary or insecure software.<\/p>\n Establish continuous monitoring to track system-level metrics and inform risk-based decisions.<\/p>\n Identify and segment critical systems components for tracking through the supply chain.<\/p>\n Read the NIST RMF Solution Brief<\/a><\/p>\n Fortify cyber resilience and manage security and operational risk with OT\/IoT-specific threat intelligence and automation.<\/p>\n Energy & Power<\/a><\/p>\n Healthcare<\/a><\/p>\n Manufacturing<\/a><\/p>\n Trust a solution with the highest levels of military-grade and government security certifications<\/strong><\/p>\n Forescout has achieved the following U.S. Government certifications and compliances:<\/p>\n Ease procurement of U.S. Government contracts<\/strong><\/p>\n The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 is available through authorized Resellers and Distributors by the U.S. Government on the following contracts and purchasing schedules:<\/p>\n Embarking on the intricate journey of NIS2 compliance isn\u2019t merely a regulatory checkbox \u2013 it\u2019s essential for businesses managing Industrial Control System (ICS) networks across Europe.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n Achieve Compliance with NCSC\u2019s Top 10 Steps to Cyber Security<\/strong><\/p>\n The United Kingdom\u2019s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides10 Steps to Cyber Security as guidance to help medium to large organisations better understand and mitigate their cyber risk. Either natively or by coordinating automated actions among security tools, the Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 supports this guidance by extending scarce IT and InfoSec resources with continuous, automated asset management, risk compliance, network segmentation, network access control and security orchestration across all connected assets, going above and beyond baseline security recommendations to provide a strong foundation for zero trust.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n Align Your Organisation with the NCSC Cyber Essentials Plus Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n The Cyber Essentials certification scheme from the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) is a simple but effective scheme that will help you protect your organisation from the most common cyberattacks. The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 helps you align with the framework by continuously automating cyber security across your environment.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n Achieve Compliance with the UK Telecoms Security Regulations<\/strong><\/p>\n The UK government, alongside NCSC and Ofcom, is developing new regulations and code-of-practice proposals that would require telecoms providers to take measures to protect their networks and services, including risk and compliance analysis, traffic and incident monitoring, and log retention reporting.<\/p>\n The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 supports the TSR draft regulations 6, 9 and 12 in particular.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n Achieve Maturity Level 3 with all Essential Eight controls<\/strong><\/p>\n The Australian Cyber Security Centre\u2019s (ACSC\u2019s) Essential Eight Maturity Model is a set of mitigation strategies designed to improve cybersecurity posture by making it hard for adversaries to compromise networks. With three maturity levels, even organisations with scarce IT resources can achieve baseline compliance and protection from increasing cyber threats. And with continuous visibility, compliance assessment and automated workflows using the equipment and security tools you already have, your network can adapt to your ever-changing digital terrain.<\/p>\n The Essential Eight is a set of mitigation strategies, not a single solution or technology that can be bought through a single vendor. They address three areas that require not only different security tools but tight communication and coordinated actions. Either natively or by coordinating automated actions among security tools, Forescout enables you to achieve Maturity Level Three for all eight controls, with continuous visibility into granular compliance status.<\/p>\n LEARN MORE<\/a><\/p>\n Achieve Compliance with all Top 10 IT Security Actions<\/strong><\/p>\n The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security maintains a list of the Top 10 IT security actions it recommends organizations take to protect connected networks and information1.\u00a0The Forescout 4D Platform\u2122 extends scarce resources with continuous, automated asset management, risk compliance, network segmentation, network access control and security orchestration across all assets \u2013 cloud, IT, IoT, IoMT and OT\/ICS \u2013 going above and beyond baseline security recommendations to provide a strong foundation for zero trust.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.forescout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dotted-arrow.svg\"){kind=icon}
