About Forescout eyeScope

This guide is for the government instance of eyeScope. For the commercial instance, see the eyeScope Guide.

Forescout eyeScope extends existing eyeSight deployments through a unified cloud console designed to augment and enhance core capabilities beyond the campus environment. Enterprises can gain access to up-to-date features and functionality while responding rapidly to new business needs – all while maintaining the control and security of their on-premises network.

For organizations leveraging on-premises network security solutions through eyeSight, the ability to deploy new capabilities in the cloud can yield significant financial and operational benefits based on their unique requirements, including:

• Modern enterprise management: With its built-in enterprise management and reporting features, eyeScope discovers, classifies, and monitors all asset types, offering a centralized view of all assets across the organization, enabling IT and security teams to monitor devices across multiple locations seamlessly. With an up-to-date inventory of all your traditional and specialized devices, Forescout eyeScope lets security teams track endpoints and throughput, providing real-time visibility into connected devices, activity levels, and data processing capacity.
• Operational resilience: eyeScope provides real-time visibility into system alerts, highlighting critical issues such as performance bottlenecks, connectivity disruptions, or security vulnerabilities. These alerts enable swift action to maintain appliance health and ensure uninterrupted operations.
• GenAI and operational reporting: eyeScope automatically generates reports that provide detailed insights into compliance with security policies and regulatory standards. These reports highlight areas of non-compliance and recommend remediation steps and track compliance trends over time to ensure continuous improvement.
• Support for virtual and cloud environments: The heterogeneous support from eyeSight and eyeScope offers out-of-the-box integration with leading virtual switches, physical switching, and wireless infrastructure. This ability to run in both physical and virtual environments helps you centrally manage and enforce consistent security policies across campus and cloud environments using the same solution and management console.
