Forward Networks

Using Forward's Vulnerability Analysis with Fabrizio Maccioni

Forward Enterprise provides a vulnerability analysis of network devices that automatically compares the CVE information from the NIST database with the OS version running on the devices. The enhanced analysis helps prioritize remediation efforts by reducing the likelihood that unimpacted devices are reported as vulnerable.

Easily remediate the CVEs most likely to harm you using Forward Enhanced Device Vulnerability Analysis

Headline grabbing vulnerabilities, like SolarWinds and Log4Shell, target management software and end hosts, but if you search for “most exploited vulnerabilities” on Google, you will quickly learn that some of them directly target network and security devices as well as server load balancers. These are the 3 most exploited CVEs in the last couple of years: Would you be surprised to learn that network device operating systems can be vulnerable to security flaws like any other software?

Rapid7 Integration Makes Forward Networks the Only Digital Twin that Provides End-to-End Security Posture Visibility

There is no shortage of alerts concerning security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, the deluge of data available is overwhelming and not specific enough to be actionable. We don’t think that’s very helpful, so we’ve integrated our platform with Rapid7 InsightVM to ensure that our customers have full visibility into their security posture, including endpoints, and that they know how to prioritize remediation.

Forward Networks 22.5 Release adds external sources to provide a powerful data aggregation layer for comprehensive testing and integration.

We just released our 22.5 Release to Forward Enterprise and boy what a surprise to have our NQE external data sources finally ready to show the world. Very simply, this allows you to pull in data from external HTTP sources (currently we support HTTP GET) and automagically model the data in our data model explorer and our integrated development environment. To enable this you simply need to add the resource endpoints for the HTTP API of the data you are interested in. i.e.

Forward Networks Recognized For Excellence In Customer Service

Forward Networks is a winner in the 2022 Business Insights Excellence in Customer Service Awards. We are over the moon — because our customers are our top priority. Our platform addresses unprecedented network complexity by collecting configuration and state data for all devices in the network and indexing it in a vendor-agnostic way.

Learn how to automate secure cloud application provisioning

The cloud offers agility and speed for DevOps teams. Being able to spin up environments and create applications in a fraction of the time previously required helps organizations launch new capabilities for customers, employees, and vendors quickly. For most companies, this means reduced time to market and the ability to recognize revenue faster.

ONUG 2022 How Goldman Sachs Uses a Digital Twin Platform to Improve Security, Agility & Reliability

The network team at Goldman Sachs has reduced application delivery time to under one hour, successfully scaled their automation stack, and reduced P1 outages by implementing Forward Enterprise across their entire network. Joshua Matheus, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, will detail the pain points that motivated the need for a single source of network truth, describe the process of selecting and implementing a digital twin, and outline the results that his network team has achieved since deployment.

ONUG Spring 2022 Session: Verify security posture in hybrid multi-cloud environments

In an era when hybrid multi-cloud environments are the norm, extending the carefully architected network security policies is virtually impossible because IT teams cannot visualize their multi-cloud estate or monitor traffic behavior past the point of egress. Piecing together the cloud security posture requires combining data from multiple siloed applications.

Proactive Compliance Verification for Network Security

Regulatory compliance can cost teams valuable time and money. Forward Enterprise's security posture verification can relieve this burden and prove that your network behavior conforms with corporate policy intent in real-time. In this demonstration, Technical Solutions Architect, Glen Turner shows us how operators can use Forward to prove the network meets PCI DSS regulatory requirements.
