SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 6, 2025--

Forescout Technologies, Inc., a global leader in cybersecurity, announced it has achieved the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Impact Level “In Process” designation, officially listing Forescout Technologies in the FedRAMP Marketplace. This milestone reflects Forescout’s deep commitment to helping federal agencies improve visibility, automate enforcement, and operationalize Zero Trust across hybrid IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments.

The “In Process” designation signals formal sponsorship by a federal agency and active evaluation by an accredited third-party assessment organization, marking a major step toward full authorization at the highest security baseline used by civilian and federal agencies. It affirms Forescout as a trusted platform for reducing cyber risk across complex, interconnected systems—without locking agencies into a proprietary ecosystem.

The Forescout 4D Platform uses a four-step approach—Discover, Assess, Control, and Govern—to help organizations manage and secure their connected devices, enabling continuous compliance and incident avoidance.

“Forescout enables government agencies to extend visibility and mitigate risk across hybrid environments, aligning with the Zero Trust, FISMA, and other cloud modernization mandates guided by NIST security standards,” said Mike Walsh, President, Forescout Government Systems. “This designation validates the trust federal agencies are placing in our platform and presses the accelerator on our ability to support mission-critical operations.”
