Forescout, one of our vendor partners, forms part of our SMART Services Toolkit.
Why Forescout?
Security operations centre (SOC) teams face a daily barrage of incomplete and inaccurate alerts that lack vital contextual information, many of them false positives. As a result, analysts miss critical threats and take longer to investigate and respond to them, increasing the risk of a breach. In fact, the typical SOC receives an estimated 11,000 alerts per day, or 450 alerts per hour1 – most of them low fidelity, low confidence alerts, and false positives.
With Forescout XDR, that number is reduced to one SOC-actionable detection an hour – or one probable threat that warrants human investigation.
Forescout XDR converts telemetry and logs into high fidelity, SOC-actionable probable threats. It automates the detection, investigation, hunt for and response to advanced threats across all connected assets – IT, OT/ICS, IoT and IoMT – from campus to cloud to data centre to edge. Forescout XDR combines essential SOC technologies and functions into a unified, cloud-native platform, viewable and actionable from a single console.

- 450x better detection
- Simple, predictable, accessible pricing
- Full-spectrum response
Benefits
- Reduces business risk – Lessens the risk and magnitude of a successful attack
- or data breach and eliminating virtually all alert “noise.” This enables SOC teams to more quickly and accurately detect, investigate and respond to the broadest range of advanced threats from across the entire enterprise. In doing so, Forescout XDR helps enable you to avoid business disruptions and costs resulting from a successful attack or breach.
- Reduces costs – Lower SOC spending related to: licensing and managing multiple SOC point solutions; log storage; analyst burnout, turnover, recruiting and training; supporting new data sources; and creating and tuning rules.
- Optimise security operations – Automatically enriches and normalizes key data and correlates signals to produce a small number of high- fidelity, high-confidence detections that truly warrant analyst investigation. It simplifies and accelerates complex investigation and threat-hunting processes with more complete, accurate information and contextual data, all from a unified console that integrates with other Forescout solutions and third-party SIEMs, case management systems and response solutions.
- Supports compliance – Provides log storage, automated threat detection and threat intelligence to support compliance with key regulations and standards. This helps close the potential gap between when a breach or disruption is noticed and when a response action is taken.
- Leverages existing security investments – Increases the value of your Forescout solutions as well as your network, endpoint and cloud security sensors; and enforcement points, regardless of vendor. With Forescout XDR, there’s no need to deploy new, vendor-specific software or hardware.
