September 27, 2017 – ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security company, and CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the
company that protects organizations from cyber attacks that have made their way inside the network perimeter, today
announced a new partnership and joint solution. The joint solution, available
as the ForeScout®
Extended Module for CyberArk®, provides deep enterprise
security capabilities to improve visibility and insight into privileged
accounts on previously unknown devices, enforce greater security controls, and

Privileged accounts
continue to proliferate across enterprise networks in multiple repositories and
connected devices, exponentially expanding the attack surface. Privileged
accounts provide powerful access to an organization’s most sensitive data
across business applications and critical IT infrastructure. Since compromised
privileged credentials are used in the majority of cybersecurity incidents,
organizations need a security solution that can help protect these credentials
from being exploited by attackers.

Joint customers can
further reduce the attack surface through the sophisticated integration of
ForeScout and CyberArk solutions that increase privileged account security and
accountability. ForeScout pioneered an agentless approach that provides
real-time visibility, classification, assessment and monitoring of
network-connected devices. More than 30 billion devices will be connected by
2020[1] and the vast
majority won’t be manageable using agent-based security methods. ForeScout
scans the network in real time and automates policy-based access control and
enforcement of these devices based on their security posture and behavior without
using an agent.

“The lack of visibility
into unknown privileged accounts across the network, combined with an
increasing number of devices connecting to enterprises, creates gaping holes
that allow hackers to easily infiltrate unsuspecting organizations,” said Pedro
Abreu, senior vice president and chief strategy officer, ForeScout. “ForeScout
is teaming up with CyberArk to give our joint customers a distinct advantage
that expands their visibility and control across their infrastructure to reduce
security risks and help stop attackers before they inflict serious damage.”
