Transforming Enterprise-Wide Network Segmentation

CISOs are faced with the challenges of a growing number of threats while meeting more and more compliance directives. The new era of network segmentation has been designed to allow businesses to automate the identification and isolation of threats, without impacting operations. Despite network segmentation not being a new concept, adoption across the enterprise has been slow and when undertaken, often tedious – as typically organizations layer network segmentation on top of an existing network. Advanced network segmentation requires traffic context. Having insight into what devices are communicating between each other and what counts as legitimate or illegitimate traffic is paramount for CISOs today. Forescout’s eyeSegment allows organizations to create a baseline of what is communicating with what and helps make sense of the network chaos associated with the volume and diversity of connected devices, matching the demand from businesses to secure critical applications, mitigate increased exposure due to IoT devices and block the lateral movement of threats across flat networks.
