Forescout Technologies, Inc. announces two major milestones in its strategic partnership with Microsoft. Forescout’s Risk and Exposure Management (REM) solution is now available on Microsoft Azure, along with the launch of two new integrations with Microsoft Copilot for Security. These developments are crucial in helping organizations enhance their security posture through advanced risk management and operational efficiency, while also enabling proactive threat management at scale.

Built on Azure: Forescout Risk and Exposure Management (REM)

Forescout REM, a comprehensive, AI-enhanced asset intelligence solution, is now built on Azure. REM provides enterprises with an automated and multi-factor risk-prioritization approach to remediate vulnerabilities and strengthen the security posture across the attack surface. Enterprises can now accurately assess, classify, and quantify the risk severity and exploitability of every connected asset, managed or unmanaged. This development marks a significant step in providing advanced cyber-defense capabilities to organizations using the Azure cloud platform with control, reliability, speed and scale.

Forescout Risk and Exposure Management Integration with Microsoft Copilot for Security Defines Seamless Enrichment for Security Operations

Forescout REM now has an integration with Copilot for Security, designed to dynamically query the product to provide specific details about a device’s risk posture, exposure, and historical trends. Combining the contextual data from Forescout REM with Copilot for Security allows security teams to quickly assess the risk posed across their environments and prioritize work by getting clear information on exposure to different vulnerabilities or configurations that exist. Benefitting from the power of the large language model behind Copilot for Security, this enriched data seamlessly integrates with Microsoft products, offering a comprehensive end-to-end view of security threats.

Forescout Research Expands Access to Threat Intelligence with Microsoft Copilot for Security Integration

In another move, Forescout introduces a Copilot for Security plugin that accesses Forescout’s invite-only threat intelligence service powered by Vedere Labs, a leading global team dedicated to uncovering vulnerabilities in and threats to critical infrastructure. The Forescout Research Vedere Labs team provides a threat intelligence feed containing IP, URL and file hash indicators, attack mapping and actor intel for all activity monitored by Forescout. This includes information on Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and Vedere Labs reported CVE’s. This service takes one of the industry’s leading threat intel data lakes for IoT and OT and correlates security events detected by Microsoft products with data sourced from Forescout’s rich threat intelligence using advanced AI algorithms.

“As enterprises increasingly converge IT and OT resources — including cloud endpoints and unmanaged, unagentable assets — they require enterprise-ready solutions that enforce consistent governance and control,” said Barry Mainz, CEO, Forescout. “Together, we empower security leaders to integrate and enhance their security programs seamlessly.”

Forescout Technologies, Inc., announced the expansion of its partnership with Arista Networks. Together, Forescout and Arista enable customers to dynamically reduce their attack surface and prevent unauthorized network communications by streamlining the creation, management and enforcement of software-driven, group-based segmentation policies.

The Forescout and Arista partnership is addressing one of the most prevalent problems we see in global enterprises today – more and more ‘things’ being added to flat and static networks.

“Zero Trust strategies are crucial for reducing risk exposure and defending the evolving workforce and businesses. An incomplete understanding of the location, role, risk and criticality of network connected devices prevents effective Zero Trust roll-out,” said Pedro Abreu, chief product and strategy officer, Forescout. “Forescout and Arista provide organizations with faster, more effective Zero Trust defenses by discovering, classifying and segmenting all devices on the network, and aligning device profiles with consistent policies.”

As a result of a year-long co-development effort between Forescout and Arista, customers will have a simplified, secure network architecture with a single solution for policy management and context through to segmentation policy enforcement, with the unique ability to support and secure heterogenous networks without proprietary vendor lock-in.

Forescout eyeSegment is now integrated with Arista CloudVision, the core management platform of Arista’s MSS Group solution architecture. This will allow customers to utilize eyeSegment’s real-time device context to easily create, manage and monitor group-based segmentation policies. Production-ready eyeSegment policy information is then shared with CloudVision to consistently enforce rules across multiple network domains via the MSS Group solution architecture.

“Modern networks are increasingly under attack. To limit that risk and reduce the attack surface, customers need to control access in the most dynamic and granular way possible,” said Anshul Sadana, COO, Arista. “By applying Forescout’s device intelligence and group-based segmentation policies to Arista’s MSS Group solution, customers can rapidly prevent unauthorized network communications and implement zero trust protections.”

CloudVision customers will now be able to enforce segmentation policies based on device profiles, abstracting policies away from static IP or network segment requirements of traditional methods. As new devices are discovered or their security posture changes, they are immediately assigned to the appropriate group-based segment which CloudVision will enforce across campus, data center and cloud environments.

With this new joint offering, customers benefit from a simplified, centralized solution for software-driven Zero Trust security from two industry leaders.
