CounterAct is the Swiss army knife of network security
CounterAct is used to protect our network from unauthorized devices connecting to our network. We use it to ensure that only authorized and company owned assets are able to connect. We also use it to enable a guest network and move unauthorized machines to our guest network where we use the CounterACT guest registration system to enforce guest registration. Guest registration requires that a guest is approved by the employee they are visiting.
- Ensure authorized devices only connect to our network
- Guest registration
- Endpoint visibility
- Thick client UI could use some updates to be web based

CounterACT - Blocking the Bad Guys!
Forescout CounterAct is being used by the IT department. The main reason behind the purchase of Forescout was for Network Access Control. We wanted to make sure any device connected to our network that was not property of our company to be segregated off our company network and pushed directly to a separate network with only internet access.
- Network Access Control does a great job of identifying unmanaged devices on the network and "quarantining" them.
- The inventory feature of CounterAct is a handy place to see what version of applications are running on which machines on our network.
- Policies can be very intricate.
- Policies ability to be very intricate also adds complexity to the building of the policy.
- Initial configuration is complex
- Uses SMB1 which is a vulnerable version - needs to be updated asap.
