Forescout Technologies, Inc., a global cybersecurity leader,
today announced a strategic partnership to help customers protect
every enterprise asset, both managed and unmanaged. This
collaboration addresses a growing need for comprehensive security
across all connected devices with a focus on securing IoT, medical,
and OT environments.
With the exponential growth of connected devices in IT and OT
landscapes, companies are challenged with managing and securing
numerous unmanaged and un-agentable assets. Recognizing the need to
secure these critical assets, Forescout and Microsoft provide a
scalable backbone to deliver an enhanced competitive advantage and
present a strong value proposition anchored by a vision that a
comprehensive cybersecurity strategy requires both a host and
network-based approach based on visibility, risk, detection, and
response capabilities.
“Microsoft has a large-scale security business, which has some
great synergies with our solutions,” said Forescout CEO, Barry
Mainz. “Forescout has already been working with Microsoft, to
support several existing customers, including some of the largest
organizations in the world. Cybersecurity delivery at this scale
requires a new level of collaboration. Our strategic alignment with
Microsoft will accelerate our mission to provide comprehensive
security across both managed and unmanaged devices to help
customers further strengthen the security of their modern
enterprises.”
