CounterACT Edge
Preventing Network Intrusions
CounterACT Edge security appliance delivers an entirely unique approach to preventing network intrusions: Stop attackers based on their "proven intent" to attack without using signatures, anomaly detection or pattern matching of any kind.
Attackers follow a consistent pattern. To launch an attack, they need knowledge about a network's resources. Potential intruders, whether humans or self-propagating threats, compile vulnerability and configuration information through scanning and probing prior to an attack. The information received is then used to launch attacks based on the unique structure and characteristics of the targeted network.
ForeScout's patented IPS technology detects attackers' reconnaissance and responds to them with counterfeit information. If an intruder attempts to use this information to attack the network, he has proven his malicious intent and can be blocked before the network is compromised.
By focusing on the "proven intent" of potential attackers, CounterACT Edge's dynamic intelligence ensures elimination of threats before they ever reach the network - without ever requiring signatures, deep packet inspection, anomalous behavior or manual intervention.
