Forescout Named Keysight Network Visibility Tech Partner of the Year

Key Terms

iot technical

The Internet of Things (IoT) describes a network of everyday devices—such as appliances, vehicles, and equipment—that are connected to the internet and can share data automatically. For investors, IoT represents a growing trend that can drive efficiency and innovation across many industries, potentially creating new opportunities for growth and value. Its expansion influences how companies operate and compete in a digitally connected world.

iomt medical

A connected network of medical devices and health sensors—such as wearable monitors, smart implants, and remote diagnostic tools—that collect and share patient data over the internet. For investors, IoMT matters because it can drive new revenue streams and cost savings in healthcare like adding smart features to everyday equipment, but it also creates regulatory, privacy, and cybersecurity risks that can affect a company’s costs, adoption speed, and long‑term value.

netops technical

NetOps is shorthand for network operations—the people, systems and processes that keep a company's digital connections (internet links, cloud services and internal networks) running, secure and performing well. Investors pay attention because strong NetOps reduces the risk of costly outages, data breaches and slow performance that can hurt revenue and reputation, while efficient operations can lower costs and support faster growth, like a well‑maintained highway keeping traffic moving.

secops technical

SecOps is the ongoing practice of monitoring, detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities across a company’s systems, tools and networks. Think of it as a combined neighborhood watch and emergency response team for a business’s digital assets: it limits damage from hacks, prevents downtime, helps meet regulatory rules, and reduces the chance of costly breaches or reputational harm, all of which affect investor risk and value.
