Forescout Expands Integration with Microsoft Technologies for Device Visibility and Control Across Diverse Endpoints
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCT), the leader in device visibility and control, today announced an expanded integration with Microsoft to integrate the Forescout platform with Microsoft Intune, a unified endpoint management (UEM) solution. Building on previous integrations with Microsoft Azure and System Center Configuration Manager, Forescout is extending its device visibility and control platform to improve security, compliance and control across a diverse landscape of interconnected campus, data center, public cloud and operational networks. Additionally, Forescout has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, a collaborative initiative to help organizations defend against increasingly sophisticated, fast moving threats worldwide. “Nearly every employee today is using corporate or personal devices in the workplace, and thus the management of device hygiene and compliance is crucial,” said Pedro Abreu, chief product and strategy officer at Forescout. “Our expanded work with Microsoft empowers our joint customers to embrace the emerging cloud- and mobile-first world by addressing the complicated security and compliance challenges through device visibility and control.” Mobile devices and cloud instances expand the enterprise attack surface and create compliance challenges. To address these risks and achiev compliance, organizations need visibility into all devices across physical and virtual environments. The joint Forescout and Microsoft solutions increase security operations efficiency and reduce cost via orchestration of workflows and automation of remediation and response. “We are in an era in which mobility is the new normal – people expect to have the ability to work where, when and how they choose, using the devices they love and the apps they are familiar with,” said Ryan McGee, director of security product marketing, Microsoft. “Working with Forescout, we’re helping businesses manage their security risk with device visibility and control.” Integration with Intune Integration with Azure Integration with System Center Configuration Manager About Forescout © 2019 Forescout Technologies, Inc.
