How can ForeScout enforce endpoint compliance?

ForeScout enforces endpoint compliance primarily through automated remediation actions based on pre-configured policies. This approach allows for real-time monitoring and enforcement of security policies without requiring manual intervention. When an endpoint is identified as non-compliant, ForeScout can automatically take corrective actions such as isolating the device from the network, applying updates, or enforcing security policies, ensuring that only compliant devices maintain access to the network.

Automating the compliance process significantly improves efficiency and response times, as threats or non-compliance can be addressed immediately. This is a crucial feature in dynamic environments where the security posture needs to be continuously evaluated and enforced.

While user training programs, manual compliance checks, and limiting network access to certain users can contribute to compliance efforts, they do not provide the same level of immediate and effective enforcement that automated remediation based on policies delivers. These alternatives might be used in conjunction with automated solutions but are not the primary method of enforcing compliance within the ForeScout framework.
