Automated Security Control Platform

ForeScout CounterACT is an automated security control platform that delivers real-time visibility and control of all devices on your network. ForeScout CounterACT automatically identifies who and what is on your network, controls access to your network, measures compliance with your security policies, blocks network threats, and remediates endpoint security violations when they occur. CounterACT makes you smarter, your network more secure, and your staff less busy by automating tasks that are currently laborious.


ForeScout CounterACT employs a proven approach for IT risk management, as shown in the diagram below. Every device that accesses your network is identified, controlled, remediated (if you wish), and continuously monitored to ensure compliance and protection.



The ForeScout Difference

ForeScout CounterACT is dramatically easier and faster to deploy than traditional policy enforcement products. Here is why:

  • One box, one day to install. Everything is contained in a single physical or virtual appliance. Setup is easy with built-in configuration wizards.

  • ForeScout works with what you have. All your existing switches, routers, firewalls, endpoints, patch management systems, antivirus systems, directories, ticketing systems–ForeScout CounterACT works with them. We require no infrastructure changes or equipment upgrades.

  • No software. ForeScout CounterACT is agentless, which means it works with all types of endpoints–managed and unmanaged, known and unknown, authorized and rogue. No client installation is required.

  • Non-disruptive. Unlike first generation NAC products that immediately disrupt users with heavy-handed access controls, ForeScout CounterACT can be deployed in a phased approach which minimizes disruption and accelerates results. In the initial phase, CounterACT gives you visibility to your trouble spots. When you want to move forward with automated control, you can do so gradually, starting with the most problematic locations and choosing an appropriate enforcement action.

  • Accelerated results. ForeScout CounterACT provides useful results on Day 1 by giving you visibility to problems on your network. The built-in knowledge base helps you configure security policies quickly and accurately.
