Joint solution eliminates security blind spots, automating risk mitigation and lateral movement containment for all managed and unmanaged assets, both on-premises and remote
SAN JOSE, Calif. and SANTA CLARA, Calif., February 26, 2026 – Forescout Technologies Inc., a global leader in cybersecurity, and Netskope (NASDAQ: NTSK), a leader in modern security and networking for the cloud and AI era, today announced an integration providing Zero Trust security for every device, managed and unmanaged IT, OT, IoT and IoMT devices. By combining Forescout’s real-time device intelligence with Netskope’s intelligent AI and cloud security, the joint solution continuously and dynamically adapts access decisions based on device posture and risk, ensuring that Zero Trust is enforced regardless of where an asset connects.
Overview of Integration
The Forescout and Netskope integration provides joint customers with the instrumentation needed to apply Zero Trust policies universally, regardless of device type or location. While standalone ZTNA solutions often focus exclusively on North-South cloud traffic, this partnership uniquely secures East-West communications at the local network level. By combining Forescout’s real-time discovery and assessment of connected assets behind routers and firewalls with Netskope’s adaptive private access controls, the joint solution continuously evaluates context and risk to automate remediation and contain lateral movement across the entire enterprise.
Built With a Fortune 500 Financial Services Customer
One of the world’s largest financial services companies is actively using this integration to uncover hundreds of thousands of devices, bridging coverage gaps across remote, on-prem and the varying landscape of device types. The Forescout-Netskope integration delivered significant visibility improvements, bridged coverage gaps, and has become a critical tool for supporting compliance and risk control.
“As digital environments expand and grow more complex, we are helping organizations shrink their attack surface,” said Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout. “The volume and variety of device types are exploding, along with the number of applications, users and access points. By joining forces with Netskope, we are bringing together two best-of-breed solutions, granting customers complete visibility and control over their environments, with policies that automatically adjust as conditions change, and enabling north-south and east-west security policy enforcement. This is a gold standard of how ‘Universal’ Zero Trust Network Access is employed in practice, not just as a model.”
“Modern security and performance for the cloud and AI era must include a zero trust approach to secure data and keep business resilient,” said Sanjay Beri, CEO of Netskope. “Our integrated solution with Forescout was designed for the scale, speed, and diversity of today’s modern enterprises, and provides the cohesive, centralized secure access organizations need.”
Market Need & Pain Points
Today, many organizations employ disparate point solutions that are not in sync, don’t communicate, and are often managed by separate siloed teams, creating gaps in visibility and resulting in limited control. Modern enterprises require a solution that offers universal secure access in a consistent, seamless manner, and that can deliver policy enforcement both in the cloud and closer to the user or device.
Key Benefits
The Forescout-Netskope integration combines the market-leading offerings and benefits of both companies, providing:
- Universal Zero Trust Policy: Apply consistent, granular security rules across all assets, including traditional computers, mobile devices, OT, IoT, and medical (IoMT) devices.
- Visibility & Risk Assessment: Eliminate blind spots by identifying local endpoints and unmanaged IoT devices that are invisible to traditional agents or located behind network barriers.
- Lateral Movement Containment: Differentiate your defense by controlling East-West local network traffic, shrinking the blast radius of emerging threats before they can propagate.
- Streamlined Compliance: Streamline adherence to frameworks like HIPAA, NIST, and CIS by ensuring even unmanaged devices meet enterprise security standards through continuous assessment
- Adaptive Security Enforcement: Access decisions and security policies automatically adjust in real time based on device posture, user behavior, application sensitivity, and observed risk, reducing reliance on static rules and manual updates.
