ForeScout : ForeScout and CyberArk Partner to Dynamically Secure Devices Across the Enterprise to Reduce the Attack Surface
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
SAN JOSE, CA and NEWTON, MA--(Marketwired - Sep 27, 2017) -
* New partnership offers automated visibility and control of previously
unknown privileged accounts on network-connected devices in real time
* Joint solution enforces security controls, provides an up-to-date
centralized repository of privileged accounts and automates security threat
response
ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security
company, and CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the company that protects organizations
from cyber attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced a new partnership and joint solution. The joint solution, available as
the ForeScout® Extended Module for CyberArk®, provides deep enterprise security
capabilities to improve visibility and insight into privileged accounts on
previously unknown devices, enforce greater security controls, and automate
threat detection and response.
Privileged accounts continue to proliferate across enterprise networks in
multiple repositories and connected devices, exponentially expanding the attack
surface. Privileged accounts provide powerful access to an organization's most
sensitive data across business applications and critical IT infrastructure.
Since compromised privileged credentials are used in the majority of
cybersecurity incidents, organizations need a security solution that can help
protect these credentials from being exploited by attackers.
Joint customers can further reduce the attack surface through the sophisticated
integration of ForeScout and CyberArk solutions that increase privileged account
security and accountability. ForeScout pioneered an agentless approach that
provides real-time visibility, classification, assessment and monitoring of
network-connected devices. More than 30 billion devices will be connected by
2020(1) and the vast majority won't be manageable using agent-based security
methods. ForeScout scans the network in real time and automates policy-based
access control and enforcement of these devices based on their security posture
and behavior without using an agent.
CyberArk provides a critical layer of IT security that protects against advanced
cyber attacks and insider threats across the enterprise -- on-premises, in the
cloud and on endpoints. CyberArk's comprehensive privileged account security
solution combines proactive protection and threat detection designed with
security first.
"The lack of visibility into unknown privileged accounts across the network,
combined with an increasing number of devices connecting to enterprises, creates
gaping holes that allow hackers to easily infiltrate unsuspecting
organizations," said Pedro Abreu, senior vice president and chief strategy
officer, ForeScout. "ForeScout is teaming up with CyberArk to give our joint
customers a distinct advantage that expands their visibility and control across
their infrastructure to reduce security risks and help stop attackers before
they inflict serious damage."
The ForeScout Extended Module for CyberArk helps customers:
* Discover and Secure Unmanaged Privileged Accounts: Enhanced insight and
knowledge into unmanaged devices and local privileged accounts across a
diverse set of network-connected devices to improve visibility and reduce
risk. Additional capabilities include increased coverage of enterprise
privileged accounts and the ability to identify orphaned accounts to reduce
the attack surface.
* Detect and Respond to High-Risk Privileged Account Activity: Automated
policy-based actions to quarantine and remediate connected devices based on
correlated threat intelligence from different network sources, including
CyberArk Privileged Threat Analytics, which leverages device security
posture, privileged user activity and overall threat exposure to drive rapid
threat response.
* Secure and Manage Privileged Credentials used by CounterACT: Enterprises
improve their ability to securely access, monitor and manage endpoints by
using secured credentials managed by the CyberArk solution.
"ForeScout and CyberArk are providing industry-leading threat intelligence and
insight into organizations' network security posture and the areas that are most
vulnerable to attack," said Adam Bosnian, executive vice president, global
business development, CyberArk. "This is a powerful partnership that will
directly benefit our customers by integrating multiple security solutions across
critical areas such as discovery, analytics and credential management, enabling
customers to gain valuable context to prioritize response."
