Forescout has unveiled an ambitious new global partner initiative, Mission:Possible, marking the largest channel-focused campaign in the company’s 25-year history. Designed to energize partners and accelerate pipeline growth, the tour will span more than 90 cities worldwide between May and September 2026.
A Global Push to Strengthen the Channel
The Mission:Possible tour underscores Forescout’s commitment to its partner ecosystem at a time when organizations are grappling with increasingly complex cybersecurity challenges. The initiative will bring interactive, in-person events to key global markets, including London, Munich, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Sydney, and Kuala Lumpur.
Select events will take place in high-profile venues, including iconic football stadiums such as Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford, adding a distinctive edge to the experience.
Gamified Enablement Meets Real-World Security Challenges
Unlike traditional partner programs, Mission:Possible introduces a gamified, story-driven format.
Attendees will take on the role of “agents,” receiving missions from a fictional controller known as “Scout.” The experience blends hands-on cybersecurity exercises with real-world threat intelligence insights.
Rik Ferguson, Forescout’s VP of Security Intelligence, will play a key role in translating current threat landscapes into actionable opportunities for partners, helping them better position solutions in customer engagements.
Addressing Modern IT, OT, and IoT Security Needs
The tour focuses on helping partners navigate the growing convergence of IT, operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) environments.
Through practical sessions and use cases, partners will gain strategies to:
- Improve asset visibility across complex environments
- Reduce risk exposure
- Apply frameworks such as Universal Zero Trust Network Access (UZTNA)
- Implement Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
The goal is to equip partners with the tools and confidence needed to deliver measurable business value while addressing evolving customer demands.
Industry Backing and Channel Collaboration
Channel leaders have already expressed strong support for the initiative. Helge Scherff, Regional Vice President of Central Europe at Exclusive Networks, highlighted the importance of localized, hands-on enablement.
“This is exactly what the channel needs: local engagement, practical sessions around real IT, OT, and IoT challenges, and opportunities to build pipeline together,” Scherff said.
Driving Pipeline and Partner Success
Forescout emphasizes that Mission:Possible is not just about education, but about tangible business outcomes. The events are structured to encourage collaboration, competition, and pipeline creation, helping partners uncover new opportunities and strengthen customer relationships.
“Partners are at the center of how we go to market,” said Olly Carter, Senior Channel Sales Director for EMEA and APJ at Forescout. “This initiative is about meeting partners in their local markets with an engaging format that makes enablement both memorable and effective.”
Registration Now Open
Channel partners can register for events in their region via Forescout’s website, with dedicated pages for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
As cybersecurity threats continue at a rapid rate, initiatives like Mission:Possible signal a shift toward more immersive, outcome-driven partner engagement, where education, experience, and execution converge to drive growth.
