To address the risks connected IoT devices pose, it is important organisations come up with a strategy that will ensure every device is monitored and managed, Forescout says.

Despite its clear benefits, very few organisations have turned the concept of Zero Trust into a security practice, Forescout finds.

Forescout and ICIT research has identified the rise of disruptionware and its threat to particularly operational technology environments.

Wahab will focus on growing sales, increasing customer adoption and building the partner ecosystem across Australia, Japan, India and Singapore.

IT and operational technology (OT) are on a journey to convergence, but that convergence must be managed with caution in order to manage cybersecurity risks that go with it. 

Forescout’s latest features will provide enterprises with improved productivity, lower risk profiles and faster mitigation of threats.

The convergence of IT, Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) makes it more difficult for the healthcare industry to manage a wide array of hard-to-control network security risks.

At specific risk are healthcare organisations, manufacturers, energy providers, and any business where building management technology is part of the IT network.

As home-IoT devices such as smart assistants head into the office, there will be a raft of new security challenges that will need to be addressed.

Over time, the basic zero trust model has evolved and matured into what Forrester calls the Zero Trust eXtended (ZTX) Ecosystem.

Recent cyberattacks, such as WannaCry, NotPetya and Triton, demonstrated how vulnerable OT networks can result in significant business disruption and financial loss.

ForeScout Technologies has announced it is the recipient of the Frost and Sullivan Growth Excellence Leadership Award in the network access control (NAC) market.

ForeScout says that network segmentation splits networks into specific zones, which can then enact barriers against infiltrators.

New Zealand & Australian channel partners have the opportunity to transform security, particularly as Internet of Things (IoT) devices become common.

While 5G promises to shake up the world of mobile apps, communications, and IoT, 5G’s potential for scalability may end up taking a darker turn.

New partnerships with Indegy and SecurityMatters continue to forward ForeScout’s strategy to secure the extended enterprise.

"Each automated and connected IIoT device is a potential entry point into a company network, and must be treated as such.”

Businesses must know what type of device is accessing the network, who owns it, where & how it’s connecting, and what security measures are in place.

Businesses that use the SWIFT network must comply with SWIFT’s Customer Security Programme (CSP) or face the risk of attacks.

Crowdstrike have partnered with VMware, Google Cloud, Splunk and more to bring greater integration to their partner ecosystem.

High-profile breaches tend to have a similar storyline: old, unpatched vulnerabilities, advanced persistent threats, and a lack of visibility.

"We will likely continue to see the same types of threats prey on networks. However, the stakes are much higher today as there is more at risk."

Enterprises across the globe are worried about the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and operational technology (OT).

The new ecosystem includes a series of new and enhanced integrations across an initial set of featured partners
