Forescout Delivers Industry’s First Impact-Based Security Risk Assessment Tool for Industrial Control System and Operationa...
October 14 2019 - 6:00AM
Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCT), the leader in
device visibility and control, today announced new innovation to
its industrial control system security solution SilentDefense that
will help organizations aggregate and prioritize risks targeting OT
and IoT devices. The new Asset Risk Framework will provide users
with intuitive, impact-based scores in a central dashboard so they
can determine their current security risk exposure, identify
assets that have a high potential of being attacked and enable
engineers to take action on the assets that need attention.
Network security monitoring tools create large amounts of
information which can be very challenging for cybersecurity and
operational stakeholders to review. By aggregating and prioritizing
operational and cyber security-based risk, real time decisions can
be made quickly saving money and reducing probable issues to the
networks.
“The convergence of IT and OT networks and threats posed by the
adoption of IIoT devices and services in the cloud has left
enterprises more vulnerable than ever before,” said Damiano
Bolzoni, vice president of OT and industrial business, Forescout.
“It is essential that organizations have access to real time data
and visibility of its entire network so they can quickly understand
their risk exposure and take preventative measures to mediate
against the threats.”
This automated and intuitive approach to network security and
operational monitoring will enable customers to deploy an advanced
and holistic OT/ICS cybersecurity solution to address the increased
threats. Forescout’s latest release of SilentDefense, available in
October, will also offer newly expanded capabilities to provide a
predictable and preventative form of risk analysis to lessen the
exposure organizations face:
- Active PLC Queries: Seamless process for cyber
security analysts to create alert parameters so they can quickly
set up custom compliance and monitoring directives so that no
PLC/Controller can go unseen.
- Enhanced Compliance Reporting: Critical
infrastructure managed by utility and energy organizations have
compliance obligations when securing its networks. Forescout has
now automated the compliance and reporting process for North
American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure
Protection (NERC CIP) compliance.
- FIPS Compliant: All government and federal
organizations have to ensure they are Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant. SilentDefense now includes
tools and functions to allow these organizations to easily adhere
to the security requirements of OT and ICS Networks of FIPS for
implementing crypto algorithms, encryption schemes, handling
important data, and working with various operating systems and
hardware.
