October 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
ForeScout Technologies, Inc., deepened its collaboration with McAfee by bringing its network access control (NAC) solution to McAfee customers and through its appointment as a McAfee Sales Teaming Partner within the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance™ (SIA) program.
McAfee will present ForeScout CounterACT as its preferred NAC platform to existing and prospective McAfee NAC customers. The combination of ForeScout CounterACT with McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software, and McAfee Endpoint Protection helps customers realise continuous monitoring and mitigation benefits.
ForeScout’s strategic partnership with McAfee provides IT security managers with superior network access and endpoint compliance of both managed and unmanaged devices enterprise-wide. The recently released ForeScout CounterACT 7 NAC platform is fully integrated and interoperable with McAfee solutions, specifically with McAfee ePO software and McAfee ESM. In particular, ForeScout CounterACT helps automate the identification and profiling of network devices, provides McAfee ePO software and HBSS agent detection, finds and remediates endpoint security gaps, and provides dynamic endpoint intelligence and remediation capabilities for McAfee ESM. CounterACT, a Common Criteria EAL 4+ certified solution, supports DISA STIG, FISMA and FDCC security guidance for port control and endpoint compliance.
