Total Visibility: The Master Key to Zero Trust
The Zero Trust model of information security has quickly become a hot topic among corporate security executives and a top priority within security teams.
That’s because perimeter-focused security architectures that default to high trust levels on the internal network are ill-suited for an edgeless enterprise that increasingly supports mobile and remote workers as well as vast numbers of IoT devices.
This Forescout white paper explains why visibility is essential for effective Zero Trust architecture and how continuous visibility can help you identify, segment and enforce compliance using Zero Trust principles. It also addresses foundational capabilities Forrester Research requires to designate solutions as a Zero Trust platform.

The Internet of Things IoT revolution is happening all around us, but the definition of what these ‘things’ are can be fuzzy and often incomplete, making it difficult to create effective cybersecurity strategies to protect them.
Using a smart building as their case study, the Forescout Research Labs team investigated how IoT devices can be leveraged as an entry point to a building’s network, where legacy OT assets, IT systems and IoT devices share the same network.
In this paper, the Forescout Research Labs team:
- Defines what the Internet of Things IoT is.
- Evaluates today’s complex cybersecurity landscape and the impact of
- Highlights the cyber risks facing these interconnected networks by evaluating their current security posture.
- Demonstrates an easy-to-implement network monitoring solution that improves network resilience via device visibility and control.
