ForeScout Technologies, Inc. helps government IT professionals by helping protect confidential data, demonstrating compliance with regulations and providing secure network access for a wide range of devices and user populations. What’s more, ForeScout achieves this in a cost-effective, efficient and non-disruptive manner.

Traditional network security products focus on blocking external attacks with firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). However, insider threats can do an incredible amount of damage in terms of disruptions to operations, theft of sensitive data and loss of reputation. Misuse and abuse of data resources by employees and contractors are rampant, as are risks associated with the wide array of personally owned devices that are used to access networks during the workday.
