Forescout Technologies has partnered with Netskope to provide integrated Zero Trust security across managed and unmanaged IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT devices. By combining Forescout's real-time device intelligence with Netskope's AI-driven cloud security, the solution seeks to enable dynamic access decisions that apply Zero Trust principles consistently across environments.
The collaboration offers enterprises tools to enforce Zero Trust policies across a range of device types and locations. Unlike standalone ZTNA solutions, which primarily focus on cloud traffic, this integration also covers internal network communications. Forescout's asset discovery combined with Netskope's adaptive access controls allows organisations to assess risk at the local network level and automate remediation actions.
A financial services organisation has implemented the solution to identify a broad range of devices across remote, on-premises, and mixed environments, improving visibility, addressing coverage gaps, and supporting compliance and risk management needs.
The partnership seeks to address common challenges with fragmented security solutions, providing unified access control and policy enforcement across cloud, user, and device environments.
Key Benefits:
- Unified Zero Trust Policy: Apply consistent security rules across all devices.
- Enhanced Visibility & Risk Assessment: Detect endpoints and unmanaged IoT devices not visible to traditional security agents.
- Containment of Lateral Movement: Limit East-West network traffic to reduce threat propagation.
- Compliance Support: Facilitate adherence to frameworks such as HIPAA, NIST, and CIS through ongoing risk assessment.
- Adaptive Security: Automatically update access decisions and policies based on device posture and risk.
Forescout and Netskope will demonstrate their integrated solution at HIMSS 2026, highlighting its capabilities in reducing risk and supporting healthcare security.
This integration aims to provide organisations with a comprehensive framework to strengthen security, improve compliance, and maintain control across increasingly complex digital environments.
