ForeScout Technologies has been leading the way when it comes to IoT security, and 2017 so far has been no exception. In June, the company unveiled enhancements to its flagship CounterACT system, including a new user interface, out-of-the-box or customized classification of devices, including profiling, taxonomy, segmentation and control policies. The classification works for IoT, OT, mobile and virtual endpoints, the company said. ForeScout also announced unveiled enhancements around scale and resiliency, expanding its Enterprise Manager to handle over 1 million devices and failover clusters for resiliency. ForeScout also deepened its partnership with VMware, unveiling a new data center security solution for VMware environments, providing consolidated visibility into software-defined data centers, a policy-based approach to validate virtual machines, automated compliance checks, resource optimization and more.
