Forescout VistaroAI Revolutionizes Automation with Role-Based AI
Forescout Unveils VistaroAI, Revolutionizing Cybersecurity with Role-Based Automation
In a significant development, Forescout has introduced VistaroAI, a groundbreaking solution that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to automate cybersecurity tasks, eliminating the need for prompt engineering.
This innovative approach enables faster and more accurate risk decisions, streamlining the security workflow and enhancing the overall user experience.
How VistaroAI Works
Unlike traditional AI-powered tools, VistaroAI is designed to think like a security expert, rather than a chatbot.
It provides users with a personalized dashboard that prioritizes tasks based on the organization’s unique environment and context.
This allows security teams to quickly grasp changes in their environment, understand their implications, and take prompt remediation actions.
Key Benefits and Capabilities
- Faster actions through contextualized decision-making: Role-based dashboards organize work into prioritized daily tasks with clear next steps.
- Immediate clarity on environmental changes: VistaroAI continuously surfaces changes, new assets, shifting risks, and emerging threats.
- Actionable context, not alerts: Visual and narrative explanations highlight impact, root cause, and provide one-click deeper investigations.
- Human-in-the-loop control: Teams can review, approve, and execute actions with full governance and oversight.
According to Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout, “Most AI tools require security teams to adapt to the AI, learning prompts, crafting queries, and translating intent into the right inputs. VistaroAI flips this model by encoding agent-based skills with guardrails to handle complexity behind the scenes and pairing them with role-based personas that deliver recommendations and next steps aligned to real needs and responsibilities.”
Justin Foster, CTO of Forescout, added, “In 2025, we saw the peak of inflated expectations for AI in cybersecurity. AI promised relief, but most solutions focused on making individual tools smarter, while leaving the work itself just as fragmented and manual. Forescout’s new VistaroAI marks a shift away from AI as simply a collection of smarter features toward AI as an integrated system built around how security work actually happens.”
How VistaroAI Operates
VistaroAI operates as a closed loop within the customer environment, integrating Forescout 4D Platform telemetry and intelligence from Forescout Research – Vedere Labs.
It combines deep asset intelligence, policy, operational context, and real-world threat and vulnerability intelligence to deliver high-fidelity recommendations without requiring users to become prompt engineers.
Recommendations and workflows are tailored to specific roles, including network operators, network security analysts, security managers, SOC analysts, biomedical engineers, and compliance officers.
