ForeScout® Technologies has introduced a new solution to provide real-time and continuous visibility and control of Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployments. This new solution allows IT and security teams to enhance the security of their cloud workloads and have a more holistic view into their network security posture across campus and cloud environments from the same solution, all without adding agents.
With the rapid enterprise adoption of public cloud environments, the definition of an “endpoint” has changed. Organisations today must adopt a holistic approach to security that spans desktops, laptops, notebooks, servers, virtual machines, IoT devices, and both public and private cloud workloads. ForeScout identifies and assesses devices, systems, applications and users across these surfaces and provides unified policy-based enforcement and security orchestration to help mitigate security risks, advanced threats and data breaches.
“Today’s enterprises are shifting to the cloud, and security silos are being created by the separate teams managing the campus to cloud deployments. This can make it difficult for the enterprise to gain maximum visibility and control into their workloads – something that is only expected to become more critical given the proliferation of IP-connected devices,” said Michael DeCesare, CEO ForeScout. “ForeScout gives enterprises visibility across their network environment to provide a level of universal access and eliminate the need for a fragmented approach.”
