Agentic AI—the emerging class of autonomous systems that can plan, decide, and act with limited human oversight—has become one of the most talked-about technologies of 2025. The promise is enormous: faster operations, automated decision-making, and the ability to handle complexity at scale.

Network teams often risk costly disruptions when aging or unsupported hardware slips under the radar. With Forward Networks’ Network Query Engine (NQE), you can proactively identify devices approaching End‑of‑Sale (EOS) or End‑of‑Life (EOL), plus enforce hardware/software compliance at scale. Get ahead of risks, reduce technical debt, and align your infrastructure with business goals—automatically.

Manual ticketing slows response time and invites errors. Forward Networks simplifies this by detecting drift, anomalies, or changes—and automatically creating ServiceNow incidents based on verified data. Incidents are enriched with hostname, config diff, device roles, and severity, saving time and ensuring accuracy. Implementing change management for network modifications has multiple benefits.

Standard query patterns often miss specialized device data like QoS stats, feature-specific configurations, or vendor-specific health metrics. Custom commands allow you to fill those gaps—delivering targeted insights without sifting through raw CLI logs or spreadsheets.

Teams often share S3 links manually leading to expired URLs, over-exposed buckets, or manual permission churn. Pre‑signed URLs solve these problems by granting scoped, time-limited access to specific S3 objects without opening the bucket or altering IAM policies.

For many network and security teams, operational efficiency isn’t just desirable—it’s essential. Unfortunately, outdated CLI-based workflows often hinder teams from achieving agility, scalability, and accuracy. Enter Forward Networks’ NQE. This powerful tool enables operators to automate routine checks, streamline data extraction, and access actionable insights across the entire network. It’s not just a time-saver—it’s a transformation.

In today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments, managing accurate network data and enforcing policy consistency across diverse infrastructures has become a serious operational challenge. As enterprises navigate the complexity of multi-vendor architectures and evolving security requirements, gaps in IPAM (IP Address Management) accuracy can lead to operational disruption, misconfigurations, and audit risk.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a tech issue—it's a priority that sits right at the boardroom table. With escalating cyberattacks that are becoming both more frequent and complex, the pressure is on for CIOs and CISOs. The implications of not having clear visibility into our networks can be dire. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the financial toll of cybercrime could reach a staggering $9.5 trillion by 2024—almost three times what it was in 2015.
