Forescout Technologies, a global cybersecurity company, has introduced Forescout VistaroAI™, a new skills-based agentic AI solution designed to enhance proactive cybersecurity by translating continuous environmental changes into organized, role-specific tasks with clear next steps. The solution aims to equip security teams with the necessary insights and actions amidst an evolving threat landscape, which includes adversaries utilizing agentic and generative AI, and the impending post-quantum reality.
VistaroAI functions as a security expert, eliminating the need for prompt engineering and providing role-based automation with human-in-the-loop control. This approach facilitates faster and more accurate risk decisions, offering a refined user experience compared to traditional prompt-driven AI assistants. The system delivers a personalized daily view of prioritized tasks to users, tailored to their organization’s environment and accompanied by the context required for immediate action.
Forescout VistaroAI autonomously and continuously analyzes environmental changes, surfacing root causes, identifying potential impacts, and providing contextualized risk assessments and prioritization. Key capabilities and benefits include role-based landing pages that organize work into prioritized daily tasks with clear next steps, immediate clarity on changes such as new assets, shifting risks, and emerging threats, and actionable context through visual and narrative explanations that highlight impact, root cause, and recommended actions. Operators can also perform one-click deeper investigations to understand risk score changes or review devices impacted by newly published KEVs, maintaining human-in-the-loop control for reviewing, approving, and executing actions with full governance.
Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout, stated, “Most AI tools assume security teams will adapt to the AI – learning prompts, crafting queries, and translating intent into the right inputs. VistaroAI flips that model: we’ve encoded agent-based skills with guardrails to handle the complexity behind the scenes and paired them with role-based personas that deliver recommendations and next steps aligned to real needs and responsibilities. Value is delivered on day one, and security teams experience real relief, while maximizing their output.”The VistaroAI system operates as a closed loop within customer environments, integrating telemetry from Forescout’s 4D Platform™ and intelligence from Forescout Research – Vedere Labs. It combines deep asset intelligence, policy, operational context, and real-world threat and vulnerability intelligence to generate high-fidelity recommendations. Recommendations and workflows are tailored to specific roles, including network operator, network security analyst, security manager, security operations center (SOC) analyst, biomedical engineer, and compliance officer.
Justin Foster, CTO of Forescout, commented on the development, stating, “In 2025, we saw the peak of inflated expectations for AI in cybersecurity – AI promised relief, but most solutions focused on making individual tools smarter, while leaving the work itself just as fragmented and manual. Forescout’s new agentic VistaroAI marks a shift away from AI as simply a collection of smarter features toward AI as an integrated system built around how security work actually happens. It is designed to change the experience of the work and guide the day-to-day actions that make a meaningful difference in an organization’s security posture and bottom line.”Forescout VistaroAI is integrated into the Forescout 4D Platform experience, incorporating agentic workflows, Natural Language Search, and threat contextualization. It also features GenAI reporting to convert security data into clear narratives for analysts, managers, and executives. The platform enhances asset visibility, precise classification, detection, and intelligence across IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments. Threat intelligence from Vedere Labs enables analysts to query specialized insights directly within their workflows, and the 4D Platform uses GenAI to summarize proprietary indicators of compromise and map behaviors to the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework, aiming to accelerate response times.
VistaroAI is now available as part of the Forescout 4D Platform. Forescout adheres to responsible AI practices, ensuring deterministic engines remain foundational for detection and risk assessment, with strict safeguards aligning with NIST guidance and the EU AI Act.
Forescout has been providing network security solutions for over 25 years, ranging from Network Access Control (NAC) to Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA). The Forescout 4D Platform™ offers comprehensive asset intelligence, continuous risk assessment, and dynamic control over all managed and unmanaged assets, supplemented by Vedere Labs’ proprietary threat intelligence research. The platform leverages agentic AI workflows with human-in-the-loop actions to continuously analyze threats, orchestrate responses, and integrate with over 180 security and IT products.
