Depending on the role and location, these measures may include identity verification, employment verification, background screening, work authorization verification, and other lawful security-related checks. Forescout conducts these processes in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including privacy and data protection requirements, and obtains any required notices, authorizations, or consents before conducting such screenings.

As part of our recruitment process, we may use artificial intelligence ("AI") or automated decision-support tools to review applications, assess job-related qualifications, match candidates to role requirements, and coordinate interviews. These tools support, but do not replace, the judgment of qualified recruiters and hiring managers, who remain involved throughout the process. We use AI responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal governance standards.
