Essential Network Intelligence: How S&P Global Introduced Digital Twin Technology to Deliver a Seamless Network Experience to their Developer Ecosystem – Forward Networks Main Stage Keynote

Every successful start-up begins with a vision and a team of people who believe in it. Hear directly from all four founders, David Erickson, Nikhil Handigol, Brandon Heller, and Peyman Kazemian how the company has evolved and grown since the very first days and what the future holds for Forward Networks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Forward Cloud is the single source of truth (and pane of glass) for hybrid multi-cloud networks. Forward Enterprise allows Networking, Security, and Cloud professionals to look at the same data when troubleshooting or verifying network behaviors. The single pane of glass model delivers actionable information in an intuitive, vendor-agnostic manner.

Forward Enterprise's Blast Radius feature is an 'easy button' that allows users to localize a compromised host and analyze its network reachability to potential target in minutes. Don't waste time and money countering cyber attacks, use Forward Enterprise.
