IPM, an IT company, and ForeScout Technologies Inc., an agentless and Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity company, announced that they have partnered to deliver visibility solutions that empower organizations to see devices, the instant they connect to the network. This enables rapid response to incidents without human intervention.

According to IPM website, by delivering ForeScout solutions, IPM can not only enable organizations to better protect networks from security threats, it also offers the ability to control endpoint devices and orchestrate information sharing and operation among disparate security tools for faster incident response.

Devices span “from notebooks, smartphones and tablets to Internet of Things (IoT) devices of all shapes and sizes,” said Adam Bari, Managing Director, IPM. “Through solutions that ‘see,’ ‘control,’ and ‘orchestrate’ these devices, ForeScout enables us to deliver solutions that assure system-wide security and risk prevention.”

Together, these solutions help enterprises discover corporate, BYOD (bring your own device), IoT and rouge devices, servers, routers and access points, enforce network access based on user, device and policy, and find and fix vulnerabilities on managed and unmanaged endpoints.
