San Jose, California, July 23, 2020 (Global News)- Forescout Technologies, Inc. The leader in device visibility and control (NASDAQ: FSCT) today announced a long-term partnership with Now serving. To help ensure the integrity and stability of critical infrastructure, Forescout and ServiceNow provide effective and simplified integration to improve asset intelligence and threat prevention, detection, and detection for industrial control system (ICS) and operational technology (OT) environments. response.
“Forescout and ServiceNow are introducing the future of integrated OT cyber defense,” said Pedro Abreu, chief product and strategy officer at Forescout. “Combining Forescout’s strength in control system discovery, classification and threat identification with the powerful capabilities of ServiceNow CMDB (a single system of record for IT) will help eliminate network blind spots. It also reduces unnecessary manual work time And uncertainty, currently threatening today’s OT and industrial IoT fields.”
The integration allows the security team to make informed decisions based on the device type and environment to close the security gap with unmanaged OT devices and improve the performance of key indicators, such as “mean time to resolution” (MTTR) in repairing vulnerabilities Or the affected system. Incorporating complementary technologies for OT discovery, threat detection and configuration management, the Forescout-ServiceNow integrated solution centralizes security and improves the resilience of manufacturing, energy, transportation and other industries where the Internet is connected to the foundation There are more and more facilities, and traditional network security control usually can not see these facilities.
Customers who use Forescout to continuously discover and monitor OT and ICS environments can now use ServiceNow’s powerful configuration management database (CMDB) platform for more effective asset, service and security management. The integration is data-driven, and can automatically perform device discovery, CMDB updates, and priority remediation or incident management workflows based on risk levels, and easily expand defense capabilities based on technical and business needs.
ServiceNow Security and CMDB ITOM Vice President and General Manager Jeff Hausman said: “ServiceNow CMDB is a data platform for IT.” “Enriching ServiceNow CMDB data through Forescout’s continuous device discovery and automated workflows can help customers drive transformation and deliver services. And provide operational resilience. ServiceNow and Forescout enable security teams to better understand their organization’s OT and industrial IoT devices and accelerate incident response to protect critical infrastructure.”
With enhanced OT and industrial IoT asset intelligence capabilities, customers can further reduce risks by using the established Forescout-ServiceNow integration function, which can automatically execute the workflow between the Forescout platform and ServiceNow security operations and IT service management (ITSM) . Customers can accelerate security and operational incident detection, management, and response processes, while maintaining accurate asset intelligence throughout the process. When Forescout detects that a device is not compliant or threatened, it will create an appropriate ServiceNow event and align it with the CMDB asset record. Forescout can also automatically respond to events through related network or system operations according to policies, and maintain the accuracy of CMDB asset records through real-time device context. This will create an end-to-end asset intelligence and event management system that actively reduces risks through simplified operations.
As a ServiceNow design partner, Forescout has played a key role in helping ServiceNow create new standardized IoT and OT classes for ServiceNow CMDB, thus realizing a comprehensive CMBD based on real-time device profiles on IT, IoT and OT. The two companies will continue to work closely together to design the future of ServiceNow CMDB to easily adapt to the growing range of device types. Forescout provides rich contextual device information for IT, IoT and OT environments, combined with a well-planned ServiceNow workflow, to provide customers with a comprehensive asset intelligence foundation that can reduce risks by improving security conditions and simplifying operations.
“The integration of Forescout with ServiceNow’s CMDB eliminates the need for spreadsheets and manual tasks of populating OT assets into the organization’s CMDB. Robyn Westervelt, IDC Security and Trust Research Director, said: “The CMDB is continuously updated on IT and OT Can eliminate blind spots and reduce network risks. “
Enhanced OT and industrial IoT Forescout-ServiceNow functions are now available.
