Forescout Technologies, Inc. announced the expansion of its global alliance with BT to include network segmentation and operational technology (OT) security with Forescout's comprehensive device visibility and control platform. By combining BT's managed service expertise with Forescout's platform, customers can understand their cyber and operational risk profile and strengthen their security posture through complete situational awareness. With the addition of Forescout eyeSegment to its Managed Network Access Control service, BT customers can now reduce their attack surface through policy-based segmentation, as well as benefiting from end-to-end device visibility and control.

BT will also be launching Forescout eyeInspect, which gives organizations visibility and control of their OT and IoT assets and allows them to quickly detect threats to their OT networks. With BT's comprehensive managed security service, customers can outsource the full monitoring and management of the Forescout platform and benefit from the following capabilities: Discovery of all managed and unmanaged devices in real time as they connect to the network; Continuous assessment of device hygiene, compliance and risk status; Segmentation of devices into logical groups to enforce least privilege access and minimized attack surface; Enforcement of compliance and zero trust polices and control actions; and orchestration of security workflows and automated response through integration with a wide range of other security devices.
