Incident escalation in ForeScout is primarily based on predefined criteria and policies. This approach ensures a systematic and consistent method for handling incidents based on the severity and nature of the threats or events detected. By utilizing predefined criteria, ForeScout allows organizations to define specific thresholds that, when met, trigger an escalation process. This can involve alerting administrators, prioritizing incidents, or automating responses based on the risk associated with different types of incidents.

Having clear policies in place not only streamlines the incident management process but also enhances security by ensuring that incidents are assessed and addressed in a timely manner, based on established guidelines rather than subjective judgment or arbitrary processes. This methodical approach helps maintain organizational stability and security by ensuring that critical incidents receive appropriate attention and response according to their defined impact levels.
