The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has implemented the use of Forescout Technologies-made cybersecurity products across 280 facilities.
The company said Thursday its products now work to secure 1.3M unique devices used for the department“™s data centers.
Forescout“™s platform allows VA to protect devices used for information technology, biomedical and internet of things activities.
The system utilizes technology designed to identify and classify devices via a combination of active and passive processes. The device then undergoes a security assessment through the platform.
Forescout-protected VA components include the Veterans Health Administration and the Veteran“™s Benefits Administration.
Matt Hartley, vice president for Americas at Forescout, said the company is proud to help VA address cybersecurity threats under the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program.
