Three Tips for Public Wi-Fi
Free café Wi-Fi? Sure… and free hackers too. Use a VPN before your latte turns into a data leak!
CWE vs CVE vs KEV: Untangling the Security Alphabet Soup
Understanding the differences between CWE, CVE, and KEV is critical for modern security and network teams. These acronyms represent the building blocks of threat identification and response, yet many professionals don’t fully grasp how they differ or interact. This blog breaks them down, shows their relationships, and explains how Forward Networks helps correlate them across your environment.
Experience Blazing Fast Internet: The Benefits of Fibre Technology
Traditionally, digital communications would arrive at your home in the form of extremely fast pulses of electricity. Nowadays, however, we're largely dispensing with copper wire in favour of very thin strands of glass and plastic, along which light can travel. Fibre broadband does the same thing as traditional broadband. But, on the whole, it tends to do it much faster and more reliably.
How Much Does Server Rental Cost for Small Business: VPS, VDS, and Dedicated Options with Prices and Examples
You are a small business owner and considering renting a server? Perhaps you've already heard about VPS, VDS, dedicated servers, and their advantages. But how much does it cost and what exactly do you need? Let's figure it out together.
The End of VPNs: Why Zero Trust Is the Future of Remote Access
The virtual private network (VPN) has been the default way to connect remote employees to company resources for over two decades. In its time, the VPN was a breakthrough ‒ creating encrypted tunnels back to the corporate network and giving road warriors a way in. But today's workplace looks very different. Employees access SaaS applications directly from the Internet. Teams are distributed around the world.
Are you blind to the next big firewall exploit? Warning signs and lessons learned from the recent Cisco exploit
It feels like the security world is caught in a recurring cycle. We see a spike in strange scanning activity, file it away as internet background noise, and then weeks later, a major zero-day exploit drops, targeting the very technology that was being scanned. The recent Cisco ASA vulnerabilities were a textbook example of this pattern. A September 4, 2025, report from GreyNoise highlighted a massive surge in scanning, with over 25,000 unique IPs probing Cisco ASA devices.
Exposing Salt Typhoon on the network using the PEAK Threat Hunting Framework
How do you find an adversary who lives where you can't easily look? A recent CISA advisory on the state-sponsored actor "Salt Typhoon" highlights this exact challenge. These actors aren't just breaking in; they're moving in. They persist on network edge devices like routers and firewalls—critical infrastructure that often sits outside the view of traditional endpoint security. From this vantage point, they capture traffic, steal credentials, and plan their next move.
When Convergence Gets Real: Winning on Time, Trust, and Talent in the Cyber Arms Race
Forescout CEO Barry Mainz is joined by Lt. General Robert J. Skinner, USAF, retired. Together, they will explore how convergence across people, technologies, and missions is reshaping cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors. From the pressure to deliver AI-driven cost savings, to navigating the emerging threat posed by quantum, to the cultural shift required for true operational convergence, Barry and Bob unpack what it really takes to lead in today’s threat landscape. At the center of it all: how time, not money, is becoming the most scarce and strategic resource in cyber defense.
Stop the Silent Spread with Unified ZTNA
Attackers exploit fragmented access controls and security blind spots to silently escalate their presence and prepare for data theft. The initial breach is usually only the start – what comes next will have a greater impact. Once an attacker compromises a single endpoint, the focus quickly shifts to expanding reach, moving laterally, elevating privileges, and staging data theft. If access controls are inconsistent or overly permissive, this becomes easy.
