kodestree’s Forescout Course walks you through the Forescout Vistaro platform, from agentless device discovery with eyeSight to policy enforcement with eyeControl and segmentation with eyeSegment. You’ll classify unmanaged and IoT/OT assets, build Zero Trust access policies, and integrate Forescout with your existing security stack. The course blends conceptual grounding with simulated-environment labs so you finish ready to operate Forescout in a live enterprise network.
Prerequisites
There’s no mandatory prerequisite to join, though learners get the most value with a working knowledge of TCP/IP networking, VLANs, DNS/DHCP, and basic authentication concepts such as 802.1X. Prior exposure to firewalls, switches, or SOC workflows is helpful but not required – the first module covers the networking and security fundamentals you’ll need before the platform-specific content begins.

- Design segmentation zones and simulate policy impact using eyeSegment
- Integrate Forescout with SIEM, firewall, EDR, and ITSM tools
- Automate incident-response workflows triggered by non-compliant devices
- Prepare for the Forescout Certified Associate (FSCA) examination
