Phoenix Contact USA today announced a strategic partnership with global security provider Forescout Technologies. The collaboration integrates and embeds Forescout’s 4D Platform operational technology (OT) network monitoring and threat detection capabilities with Phoenix Contact’s EP Raptor Series of industrial network switches. The result is a unified hardware and software platform designed to deliver enhanced visibility, risk management, and strengthened cyber resilience for critical infrastructure networks.
As IT and OT networks continue to converge, operators in oil and gas, power, water, and other mission-critical sectors face growing cybersecurity challenges. By embedding Forescout directly into the Phoenix Contact EP Raptor Series, organizations can deploy a single, cybersecure appliance that combines EP Raptor’s high-performance networking—full Layer 2/Layer 3 capability, aggregate 64 Gb/s line speed, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, and modular computing—with Forescout’s automated asset discovery, classification, behavioral threat detection, and continuous threat intelligence across OT, IoT, and IT environments.
The integrated solution reduces hardware footprint, rack space, and deployment complexity while delivering contextual situational awareness, compliance monitoring, and real-time enforcement. This approach improves visibility into previously unseen assets, shortens time to detect and remediate threats, and helps reduce operational risk and downtime caused by unmanaged devices and fragmented security tools.
