Forescout Technologies, a global cybersecurity leader, has partnered with Coalfire to expedite the FedRAMP Authorization to Operate (ATO) processes for Forescout Cloud Services. This strategic collaboration aims to support U.S. public sector agencies in modernizing their cybersecurity posture in line with the Federal Zero Trust Strategy and the DoD's device requirements [1].

Forescout Cloud Services provide scalable, intelligent, and integrated cybersecurity solutions for connected edge devices, IT, Operational Technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT). By leveraging Coalfire's deep FedRAMP expertise, Forescout can rapidly meet the rigorous security and compliance requirements of all U.S. federal agencies. This partnership positions Forescout Cloud Services to meet the highest security standards and accelerate the path to FedRAMP authorization, enabling agencies to strengthen cyber resilience and maximize ROI [1].

Mike Walsh, President of Forescout Government Systems, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating, "Federal agencies can’t afford delays when it comes to cloud modernization and Zero Trust for IT devices and the future of Zero Trust for OT security. Our partnership with Coalfire positions Forescout Cloud Services to meet the highest security standards and accelerate the path to FedRAMP authorization. Together, we’re enabling agencies to strengthen cyber resilience and maximize ROI" [1].

The Forescout 4D Platform™ is designed for high-stakes federal networks and is built to reflect real-world deployments in DoD, DHS, and other federal agencies. Unlike other network security vendors, Forescout offers a strategic enhancement to CISOs and cyber managers by providing flexibility in environments with diverse network gear, thus avoiding vendor lock-in [1].

This collaboration is set to benefit federal agencies by allowing them to form the foundation of Zero Trust security with enterprise-wide asset intelligence and deployment health monitoring, take the next steps in Zero Trust enforcement, eliminate the need for manual reports with automated reporting powered by generative AI, deploy advanced threat detection and response, and benefit from native support for IPv6 addressing [1].

Karen Laughton, Executive Vice President at Coalfire, noted, "Coalfire’s FastRAMP accelerator services are designed to help cloud innovators like Forescout navigate and succeed in the FedRAMP process with confidence. This partnership reflects our shared mission of securing critical federal infrastructure and bringing trusted cloud capabilities to government customers, faster" [1].

Forescout will host a webinar on July 15 at 11 a.m. CT to share its vision and roadmap for delivering FedRAMP-authorized cloud services. For more information, visit the webinar registration link provided in the original announcement.
