ining full visibility

BYOD, IT or OT is a strong foundation for any
cybersecurity practice.
Research from Forescout last year showed
that 85% of IT teams agree a lack of full
visibility is a significant point of weakness in
any security infrastructure and, on average,
any organisation that then goes on to
achieve comprehensive network visibility
will find 30% more devices than they
were expecting.
Full visibility allows for all these devices to
be consolidated under one management
system and cybersecurity policies to be
applied unilaterally or on a case-by-case
basis. For instance, different permissions
can be granted to a laptop compared to
a fixed lab computer and non-compliant
devices that attempt to gain access can be
instantly quarantined to prevent the risk of
lateral movement.
This allows for vulnerabilities to be located
and dealt with before they can spread across
the network. Segmentation of connected
devices across the network also allows
