ForeScout Technologies Expands Buyback Program for Customers Looking to
Replace Network Access Control Solutions

CUPERTINO, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- ForeScout Technologies, the
leading provider of clientless network access control (NAC) for Fortune 500
enterprises and government organizations, today announced an expansion of its
Lockdown Networks buyback program to cover any qualified NAC product from
competing vendors including Bradford Networks, Cisco, ConSentry Networks,
Juniper Networks, StillSecure, Vernier Networks, and others. This comes after
a week of partner requests to apply credit to other NAC products which have
not satisfied customer needs in order to migrate to ForeScout's easy to
deploy, easy to use CounterACT NAC platform.
The ForeScout Buyback Program offers customers a direct credit per NAC
appliance based upon the specific CounterACT replacement appliance(s)
selected. This program will be available through June 30, 2008.
"ForeScout expects to be the go-to market alternative to Cisco as well as
the complimentary NAC extension to every network where Microsoft and
Symantec's end point agents are deployed," said T. Kent Elliott, CEO of
ForeScout. "Our ease of use, intuitive deployment interface, business logic
based policy creation, and broad experience in real-life global deployments in
enforcement mode are the foundations of this success and what will continue to
keep ForeScout to the forefront of this market."
The buyback program is being extended to demonstrate to customers the
benefits of a mature NAC solution that is flexible and scalable. CounterACT is
an award winning, globally deployed NAC solution that has gained a solid
reputation for its ease of use, business-centric policy enforcement, and
non-disruptive approach to network security policy enforcement.
"ForeScout's ability to offer a buyback program like this is the best
indicator of its success in the NAC space to date," said Niccolo Alicandri,
Managing Director of CipherTechs. "As a partner, it allows us to connect with
a potential client whose support organization has suddenly vanished, and offer
a high-value solution, with a high-value business proposition. The fact that
we can offer a credit for a product that could potentially be obsolete as its
manufacturer has gone under says much about the stability and future of
ForeScout."
