Proactive Vulnerability Detection: Security teams rely on vulnerability scanners to discover vulnerabilities, crucial for maintaining network integrity. Regular scanning is essential for a strong security posture. Data Overload: While vulnerability reports are valuable, they often contain excessive information, making it difficult to derive actionable insights.

Join networking professionals Mike Lossman and Chris Naish as they discuss how to efficiently manage cloud inventory across AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud platforms using Forward Networks. Keeping tabs on cloud environments can be an arduous process requiring engineers to log into each cloud to gather inventory data. Chris shows how to create a centralized dashboard with Forward Networks, aggregating and filtering information from all three clouds, allowing users to view data like compute instances, VPCs, and subnets in a single location.

Mike Lossmann and Craig Johnson discuss enhancing cloud visibility for an upcoming audit, demonstrating how to ensure security in cloud environments. Highlights Craig explains the importance of knowing the cloud’s security posture. Forward Enterprise shows full multi-cloud visibility between cloud zones. Analysis reveals potential security gaps. Querying the entire cloud model identifies misconfigurations. Historical data allows for forensic analysis post-breach. Users can prepare for audits without last-minute scrambling.

In this explainer video, Chris Naish shows Mike how troubleshooting hybrid cloud issues can be done efficiently using Forward Enterprise, and how visibility can speed up problem resolution.

The Problem: Ever-evolving network infrastructure, network complexity, criticality, and costs are compounding pressure on networking budgets, while widening network talent gaps, and advancing network service requirements. Many enterprise IT teams tread water with stop-gap measures providing narrow impact and short-term value.

Mike shows how the Merged Snapshots feature within Forward Enterprise helps an organization map and model a network with several distinct administrative boundaries. The Merged Snapshots feature allows users to take snapshots of multiple domains and merge them together to see how packets flow through all domains.

Is your network inventory spread across ServiceNow CMDB, spreadsheets, and various applications, leading to inaccuracies and causing you to overspend on service contracts? Discover how Forward Networks integrates with ServiceNow to seamlessly populate and update your CMDB with all organizational devices.
