FORESCOUT
Founded in 2000 , San Jose-based cyber security firm Forescout is one of the leading players in the IoT security space , serving both private enterprises and government agencies . According to the company , billions of agentless IoT devices lack security . Forescout ’ s offering inspects network traffic and monitors networking activities – without disrupting operations , eliminates traditional blind spots within enterprise networks and provides an accurate , real-time inventory of devices without scanning or accessing connected them . It does this using the Forescout Knowledge Cloud , a vast knowledge base of more than 11 million connected devices .
“ Millions of devices are connecting to enterprise networks every day . Forescout can successfully secure the world ’ s largest and most complicated environments , from a few thousand devices to millions at a single organisation ,” said Pedro Abreu , chief product and strategy officer at Forescout Technologies in a press release earlier this year . 61
