TL;DR

Forescout's cloud-powered Risk and Exposure Management solution automatically identifies devices and quantifies their exposure risk as soon as they connect to the network.
The platform generates unique risk scores using a multifactor algorithm that considers device function, configuration, and behavior patterns.
Security teams can leverage the Risk Intelligence Dashboard to prioritize remediation and automate mitigation workflows for identified vulnerabilities.

Summary

This product overview introduces Forescout's cloud-powered Risk and Exposure Management solution, designed to address the challenges security teams face with expanding digital attack surfaces and fragmented vulnerability tools. The solution provides continuous cyber asset management through a persistent asset inventory that automatically identifies new devices upon network connection and calculates unique risk scores based on device function, configuration, and behavior. The Risk Intelligence Dashboard enables security teams to prioritize remediation efforts effectively and automate mitigation workflows. A key capability highlighted is dynamic segmentation, which leverages risk and exposure indicators from Forescout's Cloud Data Lake to isolate high-risk devices and contain potential threats before breaches occur. The solution positions itself as a way to help resource-constrained security teams reclaim time while maintaining comprehensive visibility across their expanding digital terrain.

Key Quotes

0:09 "Security teams, hindered by limited resources and fragmented vulnerability solutions, struggle to maintain a security framework that combats these burgeoning threats."
0:43 "Forescout's algorithm takes into consideration the device's function, configuration, and behavior to generate a unique risk score."
1:04 "... for the dynamic segmentation of especially high-risk devices to contain potential threats."

FAQ

How does Forescout calculate risk scores for connected devices?

Forescout's algorithm generates unique risk scores by analyzing three key factors: the device's function within the network, its current configuration state, and its observed behavior patterns. This multifactor approach provides contextual risk assessment rather than relying on a single metric.

How can the solution help prevent breaches rather than just detect them?

The platform leverages risk and exposure indicators from its Cloud Data Lake to enable dynamic segmentation of high-risk devices. This allows security teams to automatically isolate potentially compromised or vulnerable assets before threats can spread across the network.
