Case Study: Financial Services Firm achieves agentless device visibility, policy-based segmentation and rapid threat response with Forescout

Financial Services Firm Counts on Forescout for Device Visibility, Policy-Based Segmentation, Threat Response and Compliance Enforcement

A growing financial services firm with about 100 branch offices and roughly 12,000 connected endpoints faced rising security and compliance complexity—BYOD and IoT devices, legacy networks, and strict FDIC/GLBA/PCI DSS requirements exposed gaps in a basic NAC solution and left the SOC team unable to fully inventory, segment or enforce device hygiene without disrupting business.

The firm deployed a centralized Forescout platform (appliances in primary and failover data centers) to gain agentless, real-time device visibility, policy-based segmentation, scripting-driven remediation and orchestration with WildFire, QRadar and ServiceNow. The solution was operational in under two weeks, delivered automated compliance reporting and dynamic containment, streamlined asset inventorying, improved incident response, and produced measured benefits including $415,737 in average annual value and $215,458 in annual IT staff efficiencies.
