Industry – Global Investment

A global investment company manages investment portfolios for clients worldwide, providing diverse financial products and services to help clients achieve their investment goals and grow their wealth.

Objective – Company needs Comprehensive Visibility Across all the Sites

• The company faced the need to achieve comprehensive visibility into its corporate network and ensure compliance with network access control requirements. I
• It aimed to address security vulnerabilities present in its corporate IT infrastructure while gaining visibility and control over endpoints across different sites.
• Gain unified visibility into all connected assets across global sites.
• Strengthen compliance with internal security and regulatory frameworks.
• Minimize risks associated with unmanaged or rogue devices.

Challenges – Carrying Out Actions

• Implementing control actions with the Juniper-MIST platform posed challenges due to the need for network segregation for both wired and wireless connections.
• The complexity arose from distributing the network super-subnet across multiple sites, requiring careful planning and coordination to ensure seamless connectivity and security across the distributed infrastructure.

Solution - Forescout Comprehensive Asset Discovery Solution

• The company deployed Forescout’s Extended Module (EM) on Azure Cloud, along with physical and virtual appliances across its branch locations. 
• This setup enabled seamless visibility into all connected assets, ranging from laptops, printers, and mobile devices to IT/OT and network equipment, across multiple sites.
• Forescout not only identified unmanaged or previously unknown devices but also streamlined compliance by enforcing multiple endpoint policies.

Benefits - Forescout Asset Discovery Solution

• By deploying Forescout's Extended Module (EM) in Azure cloud and physical/ virtual appliances at branch locations, the organization achieved comprehensive asset discovery, including laptops, printers, IT/OT devices, mobile devices, network devices, and more.
• Forescout's solution facilitated the detection of devices not listed in their inventory, enabling proactive management.
• The establishment of multiple compliance policies ensured endpoint alignment with internal IT policies, while control policies were implemented to prevent non-corporate endpoints from accessing the corporate network.

FAQs

What is asset discovery, and why is it important for enterprise cybersecurity?

Asset discovery is the process of identifying, classifying, and monitoring all devices connected to an organization's network, including endpoints, mobile devices, IoT assets, and network equipment. Comprehensive asset visibility strengthens cybersecurity, improves risk management, supports compliance requirements, and helps organizations detect unauthorized or unmanaged devices before they become security threats.

How does Forescout improve network visibility and endpoint security?

Forescout provides real-time asset discovery and continuous monitoring across corporate networks, cloud environments, and distributed locations. Organizations gain complete visibility into connected devices, enabling stronger endpoint security, policy enforcement, compliance management, and proactive threat detection across complex IT infrastructures.

Why is Network Access Control (NAC) critical for modern organizations?

Network Access Control (NAC) helps organizations verify, monitor, and control which devices can access corporate networks. NAC solutions reduce cybersecurity risks by blocking unauthorized devices, enforcing security policies, supporting Zero Trust Security strategies, and strengthening overall network protection against evolving cyber threats.

How can organizations identify and manage unmanaged or rogue devices?

Advanced asset discovery solutions continuously scan and monitor network environments to detect unknown, unmanaged, or non-compliant devices. Real-time visibility allows security teams to quickly remediate risks, improve governance, maintain accurate asset inventories, and strengthen enterprise cybersecurity posture.

What are the benefits of combining Azure Cloud, network segmentation, and asset visibility solutions?

Combining Azure Cloud infrastructure, network segmentation policies, and asset visibility platforms improves cybersecurity resilience, operational efficiency, and compliance readiness. Organizations benefit from secure cloud environments, enhanced threat containment, improved access control, and greater visibility across distributed enterprise networks.
