Forescout offers a complete cybersecurity solution in its latest release of the Forescout Continuum Platform with the Forescout Continuum Timeline. Timeline Timeline enables network and SecOps teams to query, investigate and leverage the essential data in real-time Timeline is a cloud-based offering that operates as a seamless extension to Forescout Continuum and has been engineered to handle the demands of the world’s largest enterprises, automatically ingesting, enriching, and normalising asset data. With its massively scalable data lake and a rich analytics engine, Timeline enables network and SecOps teams to query, investigate and leverage the essential data collected by eyeSight from connected assets in real-time, and across a historical timeline.
