Forward Networks is a leader in network analytics and intent-based networking solutions. Our BrightTALK channel focuses on the technology, marketing and solutions in this rapidly evolving space.

Following a significant acquisition, the IT department in a Fortune 150 company needed to merge their AWS cloud infrastructures and prepare for multi-cloud traffic while ensuring security policies were not disrupted, the network stayed in compliance, and customers were not disrupted. Being able to model their entire estate from on premises throughout the cloud made this herculean task possible.  Senior Technical Solutions Architect Craig Johnson will demonstrate how they did this quickly and on budget.

Case Study: How to Merge Clouds Post Acquisition

Trying to make sense of your cloud security posture shouldn't mean flipping between multiple screens and inferring how traffic is behaving. Join this live event to see how you can monitor and verify your security posture across multiple clouds on a single screen.  

Forward Fix Live host, Derick Winkworth (@cloudtoad), and Technical Solutions Architect, Craig Johnson (@fracticated), will demonstrate how our customers use the Forward Networks platform to manage their cloud security posture including: 

-   Visualize topology and hop by hop traffic analysis on-prem, on-prem to cloud, and cloud to cloud; all in a single view.
-    Verify zone-to-zone security policy compliance, on prem and in the cloud.
-    Prove compliance in the cloud.

Forward Fix Live is created by engineers for engineers. No pitches, just knowledge sharing. We want to show you how the platform works and answer questions.

Extending Zero Trust to the Cloud

Unexpected bills resulting from accidental inter-cloud routing are one of the top complaints of cloud architects today. The mistake is easy to make and painful to pay for. 
 
Until now, there was no way of detecting and correcting expensive mistakes before the bill arrived. Join Senior Technical Architect Craig Johnson and Host Kevin Kuhls as they demonstrate how using Verification Checks within the Forward Networks detect and resolve unintentional inter-cloud routing before the bill arrives.  

Forward Fix Live is content by engineers, for engineers. This is a technical demonstration, not a sales pitch, join us live and ask questions!

Prevent Surprise Cloud Bills with a Digital Twin

When your hybrid multi-cloud estate is not performing, proving network innocence is critical. Unfortunately conducting the necessary analysis to map the affected traffic path and can be tedious and time-consuming - which is no fun when you're under pressure to resolve the issue ASAP.

Join us live and learn how Forward Enterprise can perform a detailed hop-by-hop path trace from the on-premises network through a multi-cloud environment in seconds - giving you the data you need to prove network innocence and resolve the issue in less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee.

How to prove network innocence in seconds, even in multi-cloud environments

There are more possible paths in a network than there are atoms in the universe, making them too complex for the human brain to comprehend. Our head technical solutions architect, Elyor Khakimov, will demonstrate how using a network digital twin can provide vendor-agnostic insight into network behavior, provide detailed visualization and verify the network is behaving according to the operator's intent.  Functionality like search, modeling, and intent checks help engineering teams reduce MTTR, avoid outages, and ensure policy compliance in hybrid multi-cloud environments. 

Join this interactive demo and learn how much easier wrangling your network can be!

Who doesn't love a good story about someone else's misery? Derick Winkworth (@cloudtoad) is going to share the miserable day (and subsequent weeks) he found out the Fortune150 financial company he worked for was the victim of a headline-making security breach.  He'll be joined by systems engineer Scott Arky who has his share of security-related pain. Learn how these events could have been prevented. 

Join us and bring your stories we'd much rather chat than tell stories.

Forward Fix Live: Zero Trust but Verify

In this webinar, you’ll hear the true story of a latent configuration error that left a Fortune 100 company susceptible to a massive security incident, as told by one of the network engineers responsible for dealing with the aftermath, then fixing the underlying issue.  

Learn how your security team can proactively get ahead of the next breach, by leveraging a single source of truth for your network data.   We’ll show how to uncover similar latent risks, as well as confirm that every future change keeps the security posture solid.

Hosted by: Brandon Heller, CTO and Co-founder of Forward Networks, and Derick Winkworth, Senior Technical Solutions Architect, Forward Networks

Why you can’t prevent the next breach without the right data

Join Bob Costello, A former senior executive, in the Office of Information and Technology at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Andre Kindness, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research to learn how detailed visualization, verification, and prediction capabilities enabled Bob to:

- Justify budget for network upgrades
- Create a single source of truth that improved efficiency and effectiveness for software engineers, the NOC, and the SOC
- Eliminate information silos and improve relations across the broader IT organization
- Fast Track Digital Transformation Efforts

By creating a searchable and easy-to-understand single source of truth for network topology and device config and state information, Bob improved working relationships between the NOC, SOC and Software Development to improve efficiency. 

Andre Kindness, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research will augment Bob’s expertise with his insight as a leading industry expert to help attendees understand why a single source of truth is invaluable for IT organizations.

Reduce costs & accelerate digital transformation by democratizing the network

ACLs can be the bain of your existence, especially when seemingly benign changes that are buried in the billions of lines of config running the network create a vulnerability.  Learn how global enterprises are using Forward Enterprise to continuously verify compliance and stay out of the news.

Are you one ACL from a headline?

Learn how a mathematical model of the network allows operations engineers to visualize device topology, state, and configuration, verify network behavior, validate security compliance, search the network like a database and predict how configuration changes will impact behavior.  Forward Networks delivers a digital twin of the network that puts people back in control.
