Securing Government and Defence Networks with Forescout’s Adaptive Zero Trust Approach

As cyber threats evolve, defence and government agencies must adopt a strategic shift in cybersecurity. Traditional perimeter defences are no longer enough, especially as adversaries target IoT, OT, and IoMT devices with advanced tactics.

Forescout’s Adaptive Zero Trust Assurance framework (ADAPT) offers a proven solution for securing these non-traditional attack surfaces. Used in large-scale deployments like the U.S. Department of Defense’s Comply to Connect (C2C) initiative, ADAPT delivers complete asset visibility, continuous compliance, and dynamic risk-based access control.

In this essential guide, you’ll discover:

• Why a Zero Trust approach is critical for securing non-traditional attack surfaces like IoT, OT, and IoMT.
• How Forescout’s ADAPT framework enhances cyber resilience and operational readiness for defense agencies.
• How Forescout’s alignment with NIST’s Zero Trust framework fortifies defense cybersecurity.
• Practical strategies for automated device discovery, classification, and compliance enforcement in complex environments.
