Adaptive Network Security: Forescout & System Center Collaboration
Enable the ability to adapt to the evolving landscape of cyber threats and technological advancements. This integration enhances network security, ensures compliance, and streamlines IT management processes. Forescout connects to a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (ECM) server to collect information from network components in order to install and update software on endpoints.
Features and Benefits
Streamline IT Management Processes
This integration delivers a simplified datacenter management experience to help organizations effectively manage and secure IT environments—whether on-premises, in the cloud, or across platforms. SCCM can be used to create software packages, define deployment schedules, and target specific groups of devices based on their current state. This streamlined software deployment process reduces the time and effort required to ensure that endpoints are properly patched and updated.
Improved Insight Across the IT Estate
Through a combination of discovery, classification, and monitoring capabilities, the integration provides comprehensive visibility into both the physical and virtual devices managed by Microsoft System Center. This includes servers, desktops, and mobile devices. This expanded visibility is crucial for identifying unauthorized devices, assessing vulnerabilities, and ensuring that all devices comply with security policies.
Automated Policy Enforcement
As devices connect to the network, Forescout discovers unregistered devices and automates workflows for System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) registration. Forescout continuously assesses device configuration and security posture and initiates automated workflows to streamline software updates and patch installation on devices managed by SCCM. In addition, if devices are non-compliant or compromised, Forescout can limit network access or quarantine devices until they are deemed compliant.
