Forescout Wins SC Awards Europe 2026 for Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forescout Technologies Inc., a global leader in cybersecurity, today announced that the Forescout platform has been named Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution at the SC Awards Europe 2026, one of the cybersecurity industry's longest-running and most respected awards programs.

The award recognizes Forescout's leadership in securing increasingly complex environments spanning information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), medical devices (IoMT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices. The Forescout Platform provides continuous asset visibility, risk-aware network segmentation, and policy-based control across managed and unmanaged devices. By monitoring east-west traffic and enforcing context-aware security policies, the Forescout Platform enables organizations to:

  • Reduce Cyber Risk: Mitigate vulnerabilities across all connected assets before they can be exploited.
  • Contain Lateral Movement: Prevent threats from spreading across different network segments.
  • Strengthen Operational Resilience: Protect critical infrastructure and minimize the blast radius of cyber threats before they impact operations.

“Frontier AI is accelerating attack velocity, threat actors are targeting connected and industrial environments, and the security stakes for IoT and IIoT have never been higher," said Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout. “Most of these devices were not built to be patched, which means visibility alone isn’t enough. Organizations need risk-aware segmentation, Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA), and the ability to contain threats dynamically across every asset in their environment. We are proud that the Forescout Platform has been recognized by the SC Awards Europe for helping organizations secure critical infrastructure and complex digital environments, and we are committed to staying ahead of developing threats.”

The SC Awards Europe celebrate the technologies, organizations and individuals shaping the future of cybersecurity. Winners are selected by an independent panel of industry experts and security practitioners.
