Overview
The Forescout platform integrates with HCL BigFix Patch to provide an automated, simplified patching process that is administered from a single console. It provides real-time visibility and enforcement to deploy and manage patches to all endpoints – on and off the corporate network. HCL BigFix security software identifies all of a company’s PCs, laptops, and servers, and then monitors and flags IT administrators when devices are not in compliance with corporate IT security standards. HCL BigFix can apply security fixes across hundreds of thousands of machines in a matter of minutes.
Highlights
- Network access control that dynamically quarantines or blocks deviant devices from accessing the corporate network
- Seamless HCL BigFix enrollment and agent installation for non- registered devices.
Benefits
