Within the "Market Guide for IoT Security" report from Gartner, which provides insight and technical analysis into the market, ForeScout Technologies has been named as a representative vendor in the Healthcare, Financial Services and Government / Public Services sectors.
ForeScout's President and CEO, Michael DeCesare, believes that IoT devices can account for up to 75% of all devices connected on the corporate network, increasing the overall attack surface in today's enterprises.
“We believe that being named as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s IoT Security Market Guide validates ForeScout’s agentless approach to visibility and control to help organisations grapple with this new attack vector – IoT,” he said.
According to the report, which was based on research conducted by Gartner analysts Saniye Burcu Alaybeyi, Earl Perkins and Ruggero Contu, high-profile cyberattacks and attempted compromises in the connected automobile and medical device industries have driven early security spend (digital as well as IoT-specific) in those verticals.
The report also concluded that there is growing attention and pressure from different layers of government for potential regulation. The effects of these attacks also highlight the overlapping safety regulation and general safety management impacts of digital security.
