Forescout Technologies has announced a partnership with the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC), a division of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), as a Vendor Affiliate Program Partner. Through this collaboration, Forescout will share intelligence from Forescout Research – Vedere Labs with the E-ISAC community and work closely with utilities and government leaders to address evolving cyber and physical threats to the power grid.
The power grid faces intensifying threats from cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors, and hacktivists, making proactive intelligence sharing and coordinated response essential for stability and resilience. Forescout’s invitation to join E-ISAC highlights its deep expertise in OT/SCADA environments and its ability to provide actionable, research-backed insights tailored to the energy sector’s operational realities.
Christina Hoefer, VP of Strategy and OT Verticals at Forescout said, “The threat landscape facing the power grid continues to intensify and utilities need partners with proven expertise and a deep understanding of operational realities. Joining the E-ISAC underscores Forescout’s long-standing commitment to the energy sector and our ability to deliver actionable intelligence, purpose-built solutions, and trusted collaboration at scale. We’re honored to work alongside the E-ISAC community to bring our expertise and threat intelligence to more utilities and industry partners.”
Jeff Haidet, Director of Application Development and Architecture at South Central Power Co. said, “To gain the functionality that Forescout provides — from seeing and managing assets to triggering control actions and accelerating Zero Trust segmentation — we would have needed multiple tools. The bigger your network gets, the bigger the cost savings and stronger your case for it becomes.”
Forescout’s open Forescout 4D Platform delivers universal visibility, continuous risk assessment, and dynamic control across converged IT/OT/IoT environments. This enables utilities to meet NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) requirements, implement effective Zero Trust segmentation, and integrate seamlessly with existing security tools. By extending Vedere Labs’ proprietary threat research into the E-ISAC ecosystem, Forescout helps utilities transform shared intelligence into coordinated, real-time defenses against sophisticated attacks.
