Forescout Technologies has been named a winner at this year’s SC Awards Europe 2026, taking home the Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution award. This recognition shows the company’s ongoing commitment to helping organizations secure increasingly complex connected environments.
Announced at the SC Awards Europe 2026, the award recognizes technology providers that deliver innovative security solutions to address evolving cyber threats. For Forescout, the achievement reflects growing demand for greater visibility and control across IT, operational technology (OT), and Internet of Things (IoT) environments.
The company’s platform is designed to provide organizations with a comprehensive view of both managed and unmanaged devices across their networks. As organizations continue to expand their connected infrastructure, maintaining visibility and reducing cyber risk has become a critical challenge.
Addressing modern security challenges
The SC Awards Europe 2026 recognition comes as organizations face increasing pressure to protect critical infrastructure, industrial systems, and connected devices from sophisticated cyberattacks.
Forescout’s platform combines continuous asset visibility, risk-aware network segmentation, and policy-based controls to help security teams manage cyber risk more effectively. The solution enables organizations to identify devices, understand their security posture, and take action to prevent threats from moving across the network.
According to the company, key capabilities include reducing cyber risk by limiting access between connected assets, containing lateral movement across network segments, and strengthening operational resilience in critical environments.
Supporting critical infrastructure security
As cyber threats increasingly target connected technologies, organizations are looking for ways to improve both prevention and resilience. This is particularly important for sectors that rely on OT security and IoT security solutions to support essential services and operations.
Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout, said the award reflects the company’s commitment to helping organizations secure connected environments.
“Frontier AI is accelerating attack velocity, threat actors are targeting connected and industrial environments, and the security stakes for IoT and IIoT have never been higher,” commented Mainz. “Most of these devices were not built to be patched, which means visibility alone isn’t enough. Organizations need risk-aware segmentation, Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA), and the ability to contain threats dynamically across every asset in their environment. We are proud that the Forescout Platform has been recognized by the SC Awards Europe for helping organizations secure critical infrastructure and complex digital environments, and we are committed to staying ahead of developing threats.”
Industry recognition for cybersecurity innovation
The SC Awards Europe 2026 win adds to a growing list of industry accolades for the company and reinforces its position in the connected security market.
With organizations continuing to expand their digital environments, demand for solutions that provide visibility, segmentation, and control is expected to increase. Industry recognition such as the SC Awards highlights the importance of technologies that help security teams manage risk across complex and highly connected infrastructures.
