The enterprise attack surface from connected assets, including
unmanaged devices, is outpacing security teams’ ability to protect
critical digital assets. The rate of expansion and volume of
security issues from siloed tools leaves teams in a reactive
stance, while obsolete technology and unpatched vulnerabilities
that are often undetected or forgotten are easy targets for
attacks.
“Security teams need a better way to proactively prioritize
asset and risk management and prevent an overreliance on reactive
security tools that alert when threats against assets have already
occurred. This growing challenge has put security teams on their
back foot for far too long,” said Barry Mainz, CEO, Forescout.
“Forescout Risk and Exposure Management provides the way for
enterprises to gain comprehensive attack surface visibility,
prioritize risk, and proactively prioritize the risks that matter
to their businesses.”
Forescout REM helps organizations garner a new level of
cybersecurity confidence and control by identifying complete asset
attack surface exposures. Enterprises can now accurately assess,
classify, and quantify the risk severity and exploitability of
every connected asset, managed or unmanaged. Asset visibility is
essential to safeguarding digital environments and Forescout REM
empowers security professionals with a comprehensive understanding
of their network infrastructure and the many unmanaged assets that
fill in the blind spots of their attack surface.
Benefits of Forescout Risk & Exposure Management
- Identifies Exposures: Forescout REM continuously
identifies vulnerabilities across all cyber assets, managed and
unmanaged, for real-time visibility into attack surface exposures.
With Forescout REM, security leaders can maximize efficiency and
align security strategies with business objectives by providing
intuitive, time-based insights into cyber asset risk history.
- Prioritizes Risk: Forescout REM strategically assesses
and prioritizes asset risk to inform better security and business
decisions. It uses multi-factor risk scoring for continuous
monitoring and prioritization of potential risks. Forescout REM
provides a data-driven understanding of cyber risk and the
enterprise security posture to prevent threats and ensures business
continuity by focusing on critical risks affecting key assets.
- Mitigates Threats: Forescout REM enhances risk posture
with recommended actions for continuous compliance. It improves the
organization’s risk posture with actionable mitigation plans to
ensure compliance standards are met. Harnessing the power of the
Forescout Platform, Forescout REM empowers security teams to deploy
mitigation plans proactively, enhancing customer trust and securing
a competitive advantage.
- Context Narration: Forescout REM uses a generative AI
LLM (large language model) to articulate intricate patterns in the
risk factor data that humans may overlook. Detailed descriptions of
risk factors associated with specific assets, including
vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats lead to more
precise risk management strategies.
