ForeScout Named One of the Fastest Growing Companies in North America on Deloitte's 2016 Technology Fast 500(TM)

Attributes Growth to Demand for Increased Visibility of Internet of Things Devices Connecting to Enterprise Networks


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 16, 2016) - ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security company, today announced it was named on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

"We continue to see strong demand for an Internet of Things (IoT) security company. Enterprise adoption of the IoT shows no signs of slowing down, and bad actors are exploiting these devices to enter the network," said Michael DeCesare, President and CEO, ForeScout. "We believe ForeScout is in the right place at the right time to help its customers."

"Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible," said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. "This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls."

"This year's Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead," added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors."
