Forescout and Netskope Partner to Advance Enterprise Zero Trust Security

Estimated Read Time: 4 minutes

Forescout Technologies and Netskope have announced a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening Zero Trust security across modern enterprise environments by integrating device intelligence with AI-driven cloud security capabilities.

The collaboration brings together Forescout’s real-time asset visibility and risk assessment technology with Netskope’s cloud-native security and private access controls to deliver adaptive protection for both managed and unmanaged devices operating across hybrid infrastructures.

Extending Zero Trust Across Every Device

Traditional Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions primarily focus on securing cloud traffic. The joint Forescout–Netskope integration expands this model by applying Zero Trust policies universally across IT, operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and medical IoMT environments.

The integrated solution continuously evaluates device posture, behavior, and contextual risk to dynamically adjust access permissions, ensuring secure connectivity regardless of where users or devices operate.

Eliminating Enterprise Security Blind Spots

Organizations increasingly struggle with fragmented security tools that create visibility gaps across networks. By combining real-time device discovery with intelligent access enforcement, the partnership enables enterprises to identify previously unmanaged or hidden endpoints and automate risk mitigation processes.

This unified approach also helps contain lateral movement within local networks by securing both north-south cloud communications and east-west traffic inside enterprise environments.

Adaptive Security for the Cloud and AI Era

As enterprises adopt cloud platforms, remote work models, and AI-driven operations, security teams require solutions capable of responding to threats in real time. The combined platform applies continuous monitoring and automated policy enforcement, reducing reliance on manual security updates while improving operational resilience.

The integration is already being deployed within large enterprise environments to improve asset visibility, strengthen compliance alignment, and enhance overall cyber risk management.

Supporting Universal Zero Trust Architecture

The partnership reflects growing industry momentum toward Universal Zero Trust Network Access, where every user, device, and application connection is continuously validated before access is granted.

By aligning device intelligence with cloud security enforcement, Forescout and Netskope aim to help organizations simplify security operations while protecting increasingly complex digital ecosystems.
