    Hi,

    I didn't have the chance to use Active scout and I familiar with that a lot
    of work has been done recently to reduce the number of false positive
    detections but in reality security devices that claim to detect attacks
    without false positives do so only for trivial attacks (attacks that are
    usually ineffective). They systematically miss out on sophisticated
    attacks which are more and more common using widely available automated
    hacking tools.

    Hello everyone,

    Has anyone here seen or used ActiveScout, by ForeScout technologies? It
    claims to have a 100% accuracy , no false positives. I am rather skeptical,
    but I was wondering if anyone here has any expertise using or evaluating
    this.

    Any input is greatly appreciated!
