ForeScout Technologies Inc., a Cupertino, Calif.-based provider of automated security control solutions, has added mobile security to its NAC-as-a-service platform packaged for managed service providers (MSPs). The MSP package teams ForeScout Mobile add-on modules with its network access control (NAC) solution, CounterACT, to offer MSPs a flexible, integrated approach for “bring your own device” (BYOD) services.
CounterACT NAC enables an IT organization to gain real-time visibility and automated control over who, how, when, and what devices are connecting to the network. All devices are identified and controlled whether wired, wireless, PC, mobile, corporate provisioned, or personal. ForeScout Mobile is a set of add-on modules to CounterACT that enables security teams to gain granular intelligence, security assessment, and enforcement options for mobile devices. ForeScout Mobile Security Module provides extensive information about the device, its user, its configuration, its apps, and its security posture for iOS and Android platforms.
With ForeScout, MSPs benefit from:
- Greater purchase flexibility, with monthly pricing, tiered discounts, and on-demand license expansion options
- Additional marketing and implementation materials
- A more agile and integrated solution that does not require agents or 802.1x managed endpoints and offers interoperability without the need to alter or upgrade the customer’s network or security infrastructure
- Service-ready, with a built-in and customizable array of device identification and auto-classification capabilities as well as extensible network access, endpoint compliance, guest networking, and threat prevention security templates
The ForeScout CounterACT, ForeScout Mobile pairing is available as a subscribed hosted or managed service through authorized MSPs.
