Forescout has joined the North American Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC), which is part of NERC, as a Vendor Affiliate Program Partner. Under this partnership, Forescout will share threat intelligence from its Vedere Labs research team with the E-ISAC community and work more closely with utilities and government leaders on cyber and physical risks affecting the power sector. The piece says Forescout was invited partly because of its earlier role as a founding member of the European E-ISAC and its record of providing data-driven security insights for critical infrastructure.
The article frames this as a response to a worsening threat environment for energy organizations. It cites Forescout’s 2025 Threat Roundup, which found a 6% increase in threat actors targeting the energy sector compared with the previous year, and says critical infrastructure remains one of the most targeted areas for cybercrime, state-backed activity, and hacktivism. It also emphasizes Forescout’s established role in utilities, noting its OT/SCADA experience, its work with more than 50 North American utilities, and its support for NERC compliance, while presenting the partnership as a way to give the E-ISAC community more actionable intelligence and practical support.
