Forescout Technologies and Netskope announce a strategic integration that delivers Universal Zero Trust security across all managed and unmanaged devices, including IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT assets. The joint solution combines Forescout’s real-time device intelligence with Netskope’s AI-driven cloud security to dynamically enforce adaptive access policies, eliminate blind spots, and contain lateral movement regardless of device location or type.
Forescout Technologies, a leader in device visibility and control, partners with Netskope, a pioneer in cloud and AI-era security, to address the growing complexity of modern enterprise environments. The integration tackles persistent challenges from siloed tools, disparate teams, and incomplete visibility that leave organizations exposed to lateral movement and emerging threats.
Traditional Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions often prioritize cloud-bound traffic while overlooking local East-West communications and unmanaged devices. This partnership bridges those gaps by merging Forescout’s 4D Platform for real-time asset discovery, classification, and risk assessment with Netskope’s adaptive private access and intelligent policy enforcement. The result is a unified approach that identifies hidden endpoints, evaluates context continuously, and automates containment to shrink attack surfaces.
“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.”
A major global financial services organization has deployed the integrated solution to gain unprecedented visibility across remote, on-premises, and diverse device landscapes. The combination has significantly improved coverage, reduced blind spots, and strengthened compliance and risk management capabilities.
“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.”
The Forescout-Netskope integration empowers organizations to implement true Universal Zero Trust in hybrid, distributed environments, enhancing resilience against sophisticated threats while simplifying security operations.
