NAC market in India
In India, ForeScout’s products are distributed by RAH Infotech, a leading IT distributor of networking and network security solutions.

RAH supplied ForeScout NACs for four deals worth Rs 2 crore each from large BFSI customers this financial year.

Enterprises which have over 1,000 users require NAC to manage security across devices from single console,” comments Mr Ashok Kumar, MD and CEO, RAH Infotech.
