Bridewell Partners with Forescout to Deliver End-to-End IT and OT SOC Capability

We’re pleased to announce our strategic partnership with Forescout, a global cyber security leader, to help Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organisations enhance their cyber resilience across IT and OT environments.

The partnership builds on our range of Managed Security Services (MSS) by integrating Forescout solutions to address our customer’s requirements that aren’t being met by their existing tooling from other vendors. With traditional security tooling not always providing organisations with much needed capabilities across low-level security monitoring, asset management and vulnerability management for IT, OT and SCADA, our partnership with Forescout will ensure these needs are met through their solutions.

“At Bridewell, we already offer a wide range of SOC services that cover IT and OT ,” said Martin Riley, CTO at Bridewell. “However, there are real gaps our customers have that aren’t being met by their existing investment in security tooling. Forescout have a great pedigree in helping organisations identify and manage their assets – particularly in the OT space. Working together will ensure we can help our customers address these gaps and deliver a complete, end-to-end IT and OT SOC capability.”

“Forescout are a technology leader who, like us, work with some of the largest organisations around the world, including critical sectors,” said Jasper Marlow, Head of Sales at Bridewell. “We’re already working with mutual customers, and are looking forward to extending opportunities for customers to enhance their ability to improve cyber resilience across OT, whilst continuing to support their digital objectives.”

“Bridewell’s experience in securing large scale CNI organisations provides them with the right expertise to augment our solutions with human expertise, through their managed security services.” Andy Milne, RVP Sales Northern Europe at Forescout. “This partnership will bring us closer to our mission of continuously identifying, protecting and ensuring the compliance of all cyber assets across the modern organisation.”

This announcement follows Forescout’s recent partnership with Microsoft, which aims to meet increasing demand for robust security solutions for connected devices – particularly ‘un-managed’ IoT, medical and Operational Technology (OT) environments. As a leading Microsoft partner with a number of clients with extensive OT environments, these ambitions align closely with our own and represent a unique opportunity for organisations across the cyber security ecosystem to work together to create a safe, inclusive digital world where people and organisations can thrive.
