Asset visibility and threat management across IT, OT, and IoT environments
Forescout operates a security platform designed to inventory and control heterogeneous device fleets—IT, OT, IoT, IoMT—in large enterprises and government agencies. The tech stack is operationally mature (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible across AWS, Azure, GCP) with heavy testing infrastructure (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, JMeter, k6, TestRail, Zephyr), indicating a platform that must handle fragile integration points.
