Forescout Technologies Inc.

Forescout Technologies develops security software that finds and classifies devices connected to a network and lets organisations act on what they find. Its platform is agentless, meaning nothing has to be installed on each device. Enterprises and government agencies use it to understand their wider environment and reduce cyber and operational risk.

• Device discovery — real-time detection of IP-connected devices.
• Classification — identifying what each connected device is.
• Posture assessment — continuous checking of device security status.
