How to use inventory management in Forward Enterprise
See every network device, cloud object, and endpoint Forward Enterprise models in one sortable, filterable inventory. This walkthrough shows you how to find what's deployed, what it's running, and when it changed. Forward Enterprise collects configuration and state data from across your hybrid network. The Inventory application turns that data into a working view of your infrastructure, so you can answer asset questions with evidence instead of spreadsheets.
How to use Path Search in Forward Enterprise
Can traffic get from A to B? If not, exactly where and why does it stop? This walkthrough shows you how to answer both with Path Search in Forward Enterprise. Path Search traces traffic across a mathematical model of your network built from collected configuration and state. It doesn't send live packets or probes. Forward indexes all possible paths, then returns the paths that match your query, with the forwarding, policy, and NAT decisions applied at every hop.
How much AI risk is acceptable? The compromise infrastructure leaders shouldn't have to make
Spend any time with senior infrastructure and IT leaders right now and one conversation keeps coming up. The business wants AI, and increasingly it wants agentic AI: systems that don’t just recommend an action but take it. Boards have seen the productivity numbers. Competitors are announcing pilots. The pressure to move is real. At the same time, those same leaders own the risk register. They answer to regulators, auditors, and, when something goes wrong, the front page.
Forward Threat Exposure: Know What an Attacker Can Reach
Cybersecurity is reaching an inflection point. Attackers use AI to research vulnerabilities, develop exploits, and run increasingly automated campaigns, compressing the time defenders have to respond. As that window shrinks, defenders need to know which vulnerabilities an attacker can actually reach. Answering that question is difficult when security tools provide separate views of vulnerabilities, assets, and network controls.
Forward Enterprise: Know, Verify, and Predict Your Network
Can you say for certain how a packet gets from point A to point B? Can you predict what breaks if you change one firewall rule? For most teams the honest answer is no, and that’s a visibility problem, not a people problem. This video walks through how Forward Enterprise builds a mathematically accurate digital twin of your network from the configs and state of every device, across 30+ vendors and AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud. Collection is read-only and uses the access you already have. From there, the twin also lets you do several things, including.
Forward Named One of the 2026 Fortune Best Workplaces in Technology for Third Consecutive Year
Forward recognized for trust, innovation, and a people-first culture.
Why a clean firewall policy isn't enough to secure your network
Your last firewall audit came back clean. Every rule documented, every exception justified, every box checked, exactly what PCI DSS and your other compliance frameworks and attestations require. None of that tells you whether a compromised laptop in marketing can actually reach your payment systems right now. The audit verifies your firewall policy. It was never built to verify your network.
From audit season to always-on: what continuous network compliance looks like
Every network compliance calendar follows the same pattern: quiet between audits, then a spike of scrambling the week before the next one is due. During the quiet stretch, nobody actually knows whether firewall rules, segmentation, and access policies still hold as configured across the network. The audit does not create compliance. It samples it once, and then everyone moves on until the next one comes due.
The 3 AM Incident Triage: A Tired Brain vs. The Truth
The alerts come in at 3 AM. You've been awake for a full day and into the night, and there are critical questions you have to answer: Is this our problem, or someone else’s? A routing change that went sideways or lateral movement? A misconfigured ACL or an intrusion in progress? The questions get answered as quickly as possible by disconnected dashboards and human-error-prone manual processes. Before anyone else is awake to check the work.
