Verify and Validate Zero Trust Architecture
With the constant rise of modern cyber threats, many businesses are aiming for zero-trust infrastructure to keep themselves and their customers safe. But a zero-trust environment, where only authorized people can access information and resources, is often more difficult to implement than anticipated. If security teams and network engineers cannot visualize the network and its possible traffic paths and behaviors, they can’t possibly secure the environment.
.... and now, Security Too
On June 28, we announced new features within Forward Enterprise that help security engineers spend less time on reactive tasks so they can be more proactive. Why would a networking company expand into the security space? Good question. Let me share some of the reasoning that led to expanding deeper into this space, and why I am excited about it.
De-Risking Network Automation By Integrating with Itential
Today’s networks are too complex for manual network management and updates. With most enterprises composed of tens of thousands of devices spanning multiple geographical locations, on-premises hardware, Virtual environment, and multiple clouds – it’s virtually impossible to push updates manually. Also – the sheer volume of vendors and coding languages can be overwhelming for a network operations engineer.
Closing the Loop on Automation, Itential and Forward Networks
Combining the power of Forward Networks' Digital Twin with Itential's low-code network automation platform enables network operations teams to take full advantage of automated network configuration without the risk of unintended consequences from change windows.
Forward Fix LIVE: Solving Your ACL Problems
Problems managing your enterprise network ACLs? Think there's no way around it? Forward has solutions to your ACL conflicts and chaos. From top-tier service providers to global financial services, Fortune 500 companies trust Forward to save them from troubleshooting headaches and avoidable network outages.
Forward Networks' Mathematical Model
After years of PhD research and commercial development, the team at Forward has delivered a modern approach to enterprise networking and we call it mathematical network modeling. The key idea is to use math to accurately represent your network's behavior, not one device or path, but everything, every possible behavior of your network. Our software-based digital twin provides rapid insights to understand reachability and security. So any network team can now move from reacting to getting ahead.
Forward Fix LIVE: Network Query Engine
Original broadcast date: April 21, 2021 Network Query Engine: Using our Most Popular Feature to put Humans in Control of the Network Description Technical solutions architect Derick Winkworth demonstrates how operations teams are using the Google-like search features of NQE (Network Query Engine) to shave hours off of troubleshooting and provide unrivaled insight into network behavior. We double-dog dare you to attend this workshop and not find a better way to tame your network.
Integrating With ServiceNow for a Single Source Of Truth
Network operations teams rely on highly specialized tools developed by individual vendors designed to address particular problems. The result? Most enterprises have 10+ Network Operations applications in place and they don’t talk to each other—which means that network operations engineers spend an exhaustive and unnecessary amount of time toggling between applications and sifting through information as they work to resolve tickets.
Using Insight to Tame ACL Management
Did you hear about the change window that went exactly as planned? No? That’s because the odds of winning the PowerBall without buying a ticket are better than the odds of executing a change window on a global network without a glitch. What about the story of the tier one network engineer that diagnosed and resolved an ACL in seconds? That one also seems as mythical as staying friends with your ex—but it’s not.
