"ForeScout has provided Culpeper County with a single powerful device to shore up our network security, comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations, and protect critical government agencies from malware, viruses and cyber threats."
"We expect that eventually the Forescout platform will be used in some way by every IT team, including the service desk. It is much more than just a security product."
"With ForeScout and Visibility as a Service, you can check the box on many different pain points in an organization all at the same time."
"Our evaluation set us up for a 100-percent seamless install of CounterACT. All we had to do was back up the demo configuration, restore it and reboot the appliance.”
"ForeScout’s CounterACT Edge allows us to manage the risk of zero-day and targeted attacks on our network without incurring headcount, maintenance and expertise overhead of traditional intrusion systems, The appliance was the only one we assessed that would provide us with the level of advanced threat protection with the least affect on IT resources. In addition, CounterACT Edge’s clear interface and automated functionality made our choice that much simpler. In comparison, the two other intrusion prevention systems (IPS) we evaluated were cumbersome to set up and maintenance would have required too much administrative effort."
"CounterACT maximises our network security, has already saved us time which equates to money and helps us to mitigate potential security breaches. In the future, we plan on implementing most of its features."
"CounterACT maximises our network security and requires minimal manual overhead, which reduces both risk and costs. It also ensures we achieve strong levels of security policy compliance, which is essential."
"In addition to the guest networking and threat prevention capabilities CounterACT provides, we also get immediate access to a great deal of information we couldn’t get before."
"The IT resource here is not huge, and I wanted to avoid burdening our staff, so I think ForeScout was a natural fit for what we were trying to do."
"In the last few years, security has become a priority for all businesses, including ours, and I think the threat of somebody plugging in an unknown device and spreading malicious code or a virus across our internal network is quite a scary thought. That’s why we decided to deploy the ForeScout platform."
"We needed a NAC solution that was fast to deploy, without any risk of business interruption. In addition, it needed to support our mixed Aruba and Cisco IT infrastructure. ForeScout CounterACT offered us all of this and much more including impressive integration capabilities with our existing FireEye and ArcSight security tools. This is why we call CounterACT the ‘Swiss Army knife’ of our information security department, as it facilitates multiple, automated security checks and compliance controls in the most efficient way."
"By using CounterACT as extensively as possible, not only did we improve our overall network security and visibility, but also the effectiveness of our endpoint security investments."
"ForeScout CounterACT has enabled us to improve our speed of network control as well as to better protect endpoints with updated antivirus, operating system patches, etc. We have also improved the level of control of endpoints and network devices in a centralised way. Above all, we would emphasize that now we have control of our network devices, endpoints inventory, installed software, etc., as well as the possibility to do NAC."
"From the onset, we knew exactly what we needed and were not willing to settle for anything less. CounterACT and CounterACT Edge have not just met our expectation, they have exceeded them."
"We realized that ForeScout could meet multiple visibility needs across the state, well beyond just NAC. It was also more cost-effective than many point solutions…In short, ForeScout provided much better bang for the buck."
