Forescout levert expertise op het gebied van industriële besturingssystemen aan het onlangs uitgebreide JCDC

SAN JOSE, Californië–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Forescout Technologies Inc., de wereldleider in geautomatiseerde cyberbeveiliging, heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat het zich heeft aangesloten bij de Joint Cyber ​​Defense Collaborative (JCDC) om de focus van de Amerikaanse regering op de cyberbeveiliging en veerkracht van haar industriële controlesystemen en operationele technologie (ICS/OT). JCDC, opgericht door de Cybersecurity en Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), verbindt cyberverdedigers om kritisch denken en plannen tegen cyberaanvallen mogelijk te maken.

“Het is een eer om deel uit te maken van de onlangs uitgebreide JCDC-ICS om Forescout’s leiderschap en diepgaande expertise op het gebied van ICS/OT-beveiliging te delen”, aldus Tim Jones, Forescout’s US Federal Government VP of Systems Engineering. “Na jarenlang rechtstreeks met CISA te hebben gewerkt, weet ik dat dit soort samenwerking tussen marktleiders op het gebied van cyberbeveiliging precies is wat ons land nodig heeft om te beschermen tegen cyberaanvallen die kritieke infrastructuursystemen bedreigen waarvan ons dagelijks leven afhankelijk is.”

“It’s an honor to be included in the newly expanded JCDC-ICS to share Forescout’s leadership and deep expertise in ICS/OT security,” said Tim Jones, Forescout’s US Federal Government VP of Systems Engineering. “Having worked directly with CISA for years, I know this type of collaboration between industry leaders in cybersecurity is exactly what our nation needs to protect against cyberattacks that threaten critical infrastructure systems on which our daily lives depend.”

Forescout’s cybersecurity solutions are used by many of the world’s largest utilities, governments, and other critical infrastructure providers. Forescout is committed to enhancing the cybersecurity posture of the critical infrastructure community with dedicated OT solutions and through OT-specific research from Forescout’s Vedere Labs, which has disclosed over 50 OT vulnerabilities in the past month alone.

JCDC-ICS will build on the existing platform of the JCDC by taking advantage of the knowledge, visibility, and capabilities of the ICS community to improve the protection and defense of control systems, inform U.S. government guidance on ICS/OT cybersecurity, and contribute to real time operational fusion across private and public partners in the ICS/OT space.
