Arrow Electronics Adds ForeScout Network Security Platform to Enterprise Computing Solutions Line Card

Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) today announced a distribution agreement with ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a provider of cybersecurity solutions for global enterprises and government organizations.

Arrow will distribute ForeScout’s flagship product, ForeScout CounterACT™—an agentless security appliance that delivers the ability to see and control devices, users, systems and applications attempting to connect to an enterprise network— throughout North America and Europe.

“Arrow Electronics is excited to add ForeScout solutions to our network security offerings,” said Russell Zientek, vice president of sales for Arrow’s Enterprise Computing Solutions business. “ForeScout’s CounterACT platform will offer Arrow customers an easy-to-implement security solution that can resolve security gaps and even remediate issues with little-to-no IT intervention.”

ForeScout CounterACT provides IT organizations with the unique ability to see devices, including nontraditional devices, the instant they connect to the network. CounterACT allows policy-based control of these devices and works with ForeScout ControlFabric™ Architecture to orchestrate information sharing and operation among disparate security tools, allowing enterprises to respond to issues more effectively and better leverage their existing security investments.

“ForeScout is thrilled to leverage Arrow’s distribution and supply chain resources to bring our powerful security platform to even more enterprises and organizations,” said Brant Kennedy, executive vice president of worldwide sales for ForeScout. “This distribution agreement will help IT organizations address the critical need to improve visibility, control and risk mitigation of managed, unmanaged and nontraditional devices.”
