Choose a flexible zero trust approach to secure nontraditional devices.

This is a sponsored article brought to you by Forescout.

Internet of Things (IoT) devices often remain invisible on enterprise networks. Unlike traditional systems, they can’t be easily tracked and rarely support software agents. These devices expand the attack surface and greatly increase organizations’ risks, as they can be compromised and used as entry points into vulnerable networks. Enterprises need a platform that can continuously identify, segment and enforce compliance of every IoT device on heterogeneous networks.

Forescout believes that IoT security must be based on a zero trust approach that combines complete device visibility, proactive network segmentation and least-privilege access control of all digital assets – devices, users, apps, and workloads.

The Forescout Platform lets you effectively manage cyber, operational and compliance risks across your environment by:

• Providing complete visibility into unmanaged IoT, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and operational technology (OT) devices as well as all IP-connected systems 
• Assessing and identifying IoT devices with factory-default or weak credentials and automating policy actions to enforce strong passwords 
• Providing real-time insight into IoT devices’ communication and risky behavior across the extended environment 
• Segmenting devices into trusted zones by enforcing least-privilege access by zero trust policy 
• Automating unified zero trust policy orchestration across multivendor environments and multiple network domains 
• Knocking down security management silos to accelerate response and maximize the value of your investments in other security solutions 
• Helping health delivery organizations proactively detect and reduce vulnerabilities and granularly enforce segmentation and network access rules, and immediately contain medical device threats while facilitating remediation
