In this report, we will address the aforementioned questions using data
that Forescout Technologies has carefully gathered, tested and validated
from all forms of device networks and the applications they support. This
report presents data from a cross-sectional analysis of the Forescout
Device Cloud, which is a repository of host and network information
for more than 11 million devices (provided anonymously by Forescout
customers). With Forescout Device Cloud, we analyze device fingerprints
to identify device function, vendor/model, operating system and version
to provide granular auto-classification for a wide range of devices. For
this study, researchers limited Device Cloud analysis to 100 large financial
services deployments with over 8,500 virtual local area networks (VLANs)
and nearly 900,000 devices.
