ForeScout Professional Services Overview OUR TEAM OF EXPERT CONSULTANTS WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE FULL VALUE FROM YOUR FORESCOUT IMPLEMENTATION
The Challenge When it comes to securing the enterprise in the age of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), one solution, ForeScout CounterACT, is key. But how you optimize your CounterACT solution depends on your specific operational and architectural needs. You may want to deploy CounterACT simply to make endpoints visible as they access your network ( SEE ) in order to provide real-time network intelligence to your Security Operations Center. You may want to go one step further to provide both visibility AND apply granular security controls for endpoints ( CONTROL ). You may also want to leverage ForeScout Extended Modules, to allow you to share information with other security technologies in your environment, providing continuous monitoring and automated remediation ( ORCHESTRATE ) across your enterprise. With so many capabilities and choices available, how do you best apply the ForeScout solution to your specific environment?
