Forward Networks

Forward Networks

Forward Networks is revolutionizing how large networks are securely managed. The Forward Enterprise platform delivers a vendor-agnostic "digital twin" of the network, based on a mathematical model. The digital twin delivers actionable insights that empower SecOps teams to make data-driven decisions, prevent incidents, prove compliance continuously, visualize zone-to-zone connectivity, define the attack surface of a compromised host, prioritize CVE remediation, and ensure cloud traffic passes through enforcement points to enhance overall network security, compliance, and health. Forward Networks scales to support hundreds of thousands of network devices, supporting all major networking vendors and cloud, hybrid-cloud, and multi-cloud environments, including AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure. Forward Networks has received tremendous industry recognition, including being named to the Fortune Magazine 2023 Cyber 60 List and being honored as the Top InfoSec Innovator by Cyber Defense Magazine.

Why Forward Networks?

Forward Enterprise enables SecOps teams to find misconfigurations and vulnerabilities on hosts and devices before a network breach occurs. Integrations with vulnerability scanning tools, including Rapid7, Tenable, and Qualys, combine known vulnerabilities with device exposure to deliver a custom, prioritized remediation plan. In addition to vulnerability management, Forward Enterprise also enhances security posture management by delivering a microsegmentation chart that provides SecOps professionals at-a-glance insight into which zones have full, partial, or no connectivity. Using custom verification checks in Forward Enterprise, administrators can regularly scan the network for always-on proof of compliance and audit. Snapshots are recorded as evidence of compliance over time in the event of an audit.
