Comparison
CybrIQ vs Forescout.
Forescout owns enterprise NAC at scale. CybrIQ owns Layer 1 visibility for the surface NAC was not designed to see. Most large environments end up running both.

Comparisons
Where CybrIQ fits next to the platforms you already know.
Three honest comparisons against Forescout, Armis, and Asimily. Each one names where the other platform is strong, where CybrIQ is strong, and when to run both. Written for the security and compliance leader evaluating two vendors at once.
The visibility ceiling.
NAC, EDR, SIEM, and firewalls all read the network from Layer 2 up. CybrIQ adds the layer underneath: the wire itself.

Layers 4–6 · Transport

Result without Layer 1: audit finding, undetected breach surface.

Result with Layer 1: a per-port record the auditor takes at face value.

Visible to CybrIQ
CybrIQ does not replace NAC, EDR, SIEM, or firewalls. It feeds them the layer they cannot read on their own.
Comparison
CybrIQ vs Armis.
Armis classifies devices via behavioral fingerprint. CybrIQ verifies them via Layer 1 electrical signature. Behavioral identification and physical-layer verification are complementary, not competing.

CybrIQ vs Asimily.
Asimily is purpose-built for medical-device security. CybrIQ covers the full hospital network, including the AV, IT, and OT surface adjacent to medical devices. Customers running both report tighter coverage on the categories that fall between.

If you are evaluating two vendors at once, the cleanest way to see what each one actually shows is to run them on your environment.
