Forescout's New Risk and Exposure Management Solution
Forescout, a global leader in cybersecurity, unveiled Risk and Exposure
Management, its cloud-native product designed to collate all data sources
associated with an enterprise’s connected assets and calculate a unique
multifactor risk score for each asset, offering a more intuitive and
quantitative approach to risk prioritization.
Enterprises’ attack surfaces are expanding daily given the technology
and business dynamics at play. Security teams realize that existing approaches
to cyber asset management can’t effectively scale to meet the diversity of
asset types or track configuration and risk posture changes for their assets,
making it exceedingly more difficult to conduct expeditiously any incident
analysis. The new Risk and Exposure Management solution addresses this
challenge by tracking the changes to posture on a unique status-over-time view
for every individual asset and enables security teams to act on intuitive cyber
risk intelligence, through security workflow automation driven by the Forescout
Platform.
According to Forrester, CISOs are readily seeking new approaches to
attack surface management that not only better support their teams, but also
prove to their boards how they’re reducing risk exposure based on the
effectiveness of their security investments. The analyst firm also found that
“Among security decision-makers, 73% report that their firm is adopting attack
surface management; a further 15% plan to implement it in the next 12 months.”1
“Enterprises require a simplified way to maintain both real-time and
persistent asset intelligence for every asset – managed or unmanaged, physical
or virtual, including OT/ICS, IoT devices and specialty subsets such as medical
devices,” said Barry Mainz, Forescout CEO and President. “We’ve invested
heavily in the Forescout Platform, and the enhancements we are making with the
availability of Forescout® Risk and Exposure Management provide that
intelligence to help security teams effectively prove a reduction in risk
posture of their enterprises’ evolving attack surfaces.”
