Forescout Earns Top Industry Recognition

Forescout has been named the winner for the Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution category at the SC Awards Europe 2026, which is kind of a big deal. This recognition sorta points to the company’s achievements in helping organizations lock down connected devices across the Internet of Things (IoT), and also the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments.

The award is considered one of the cybersecurity industry’s more respected honors, it recognizes innovation, and real excellence across a whole set of security categories.

Recognition for the Forescout Platform

Forescout got the award for its platform that delivers visibility, control, and security across linked devices in IT , IoT, and OT settings. In practice it helps organizations spot assets, evaluate risk, set off security actions through automation, and react to threats before they end up causing serious damage, or well… at least that’s the idea. 

Their solutions are built to handle the growing trouble caused by the fast expansion of connected devices, and a lot of these run outside the usual security guardrails.

Addressing Growing IoT and OT Risks

Organizations are more and more relying on connected devices, across manufacturing facilities, healthcare settings, critical infrastructure, and corporate networks. While these kinds of technologies boost productivity, they also bring fresh cybersecurity risks in the mix, not to mention new ways for attackers to get in. 

Forescout basically concentrates on delivering ongoing visibility and automated control for these assets, so teams can spot vulnerabilities sooner and then respond quickly to whatever emerging threats show up.

Industry Experts Recognize Innovation

The SC Awards Europe judges kinda evaluated the finalists on stuff like innovation, practical effectiveness, and how much they actually moved the market around. Forescout’s recognition, honestly, points to its solid footing in the cyber-physical security space and also that it can help organizations safeguard complicated, multi layer environments.

The company was earlier placed on the shortlist in the Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution category, together with other big cybersecurity vendors, before it finally secured the top honor.

Continuing Focus on Cyber-Physical Security

Forescout says this award, kind of reinforces its commitment to help customers gain visibility, automation, resilience and control across environments that are getting more and more connected. Meanwhile the company keeps investing in technologies that guard critical infrastructure and industrial operations from evolving cyber threats , or at least that is how they put it.

As IoT and IIoT deployments keep expanding worldwide, the nod from the SC Awards Europe further boosts Forescout’s reputation, as a leading provider for security around connected devices.
