ForeScout Technologies, for network access control, raises additional $4.38M
ForeScout Technologies, based in Cupertino, Calif., offers network access control products for IT administrators that allow granularized control of visitors accessing a network.
Like another startup we’ve reported on, ConSentry Networks, ForeScout is working on taking market share away from large incumbent providers like Cisco with its own more specialized offerings.
The funding is an addition to a $10 million fourth round that the company raised in 2005. The filing was reported by peHUB. Investors include Accel Partners, Amadeus Capital Partners, Meritech Capital Partners and Pintango Venture Capital.
