Forescout’s Vedere Labs disclosed an update to its OT:ICEFALL study distributed in June 2022, which detailed vulnerabilities found in thousands of OT devices.

According to Forescout’s Vedere Labs, the growing number and diversity of connected devices in every industry presents new challenges for organisations.

Forescout’s Vedere Labs has disclosed OT: ICEFALL, naming 56 vulnerabilities affecting devices from 10 operational technology vendors.

Forescout Technologies has signed an agreement to acquire Cysiv, an innovator that uses its cloud platform to improve detection and response.

Forescout Technologies has announced the launch of Forescout Frontline, a new threat hunting service utilising a team of trained cybersecurity analysts.

The OT Cyber Coalition aims to advocate for vendor-neutral, interoperable and standards-based cybersecurity solutions.

"In addition to automating cybersecurity actions, Forescout is the only solution that delivers visibility and automation across all types of assets."

AMNESIA:33 is a set of 33 memory-corrupting vulnerabilities affecting four open source TCP/IP stacks: uIP; FNET; picoTCP; and Nut/Net.

“Through our integration with Forescout and Phosphorus, CyberArk dramatically improves security and compliance, and alleviates the burden on IT and security teams."

As technology such as IoT, robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes the manufacturing landscape, organisations are simultaneously put at an increased risk of a cyberattack.

Expanded partnerships and integrations with Splunk, CrowdStrike and CyberArk allow for better IT and OT security posture for joint customers.

Security architects are being forced to re-examine the concept of identity, with many turning to a zero trust security model to provide a better architecture for protecting their sensitive resources.

Security architects need to re-examine the concept of identity in their organisation, and many are now turning to a zero trust security model to protect sensitive resources.  

"As organisations benefit from increased connectivity, they have a unique challenge of securing a complex network of desktops, laptops, servers, mobile devices, OT systems along with a rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem."

Forescout and Arista Networks have come together to deliver Zero Trust security and greater device visibility and enforcement across heterogeneous networks.

Forescout and ServiceNow have announced they are advancing their partnership for enhanced operational technology (OT) and industrial IoT capabilities, with an aim of helping organisations to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

IoT devices can become attack vectors for hackers to gain access to enterprise networks, and recent Forescout research shows businesses need to be aware of this and put adequate security measures in place.

IT and OT networks are founded on different and often conflicting priorities, making IT-OT security challenging for businesses. Only when the needs of both environments are thoroughly understood can digital convergence be successful.

Security architects are being forced to re-examine the concept of identity, with many turning to a zero trust security model to provide a better architecture in protecting their sensitive resources.

Langdon says businesses are facing major challenges as they implement remote working technologies, and new protocols.

Asset management solutions are imperative for business security, and choosing the right solution that is tailored to business requirements, will determine its success.

Forescout has entered into a strategic partnership with Medigate with the intention of reducing the risk of medication Internet of Things devices.

New programme focuses on improved partner collaboration to solve customers’ most complex cybersecurity challenges.

Forescout has updated its security platform to provide more protection against devices across an IT ecosystem, as well as internet of things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) systems.
