Federal agencies face mounting technical debt that threatens both innovation and security. From aging infrastructure and vendor sprawl to unmanaged vulnerabilities, complexity is creating unacceptable levels of cyber risk. Join Forward Networks’ Director of Product, Security, Renata Budko, and CIA veteran Rodney Alto, Head of Federal Strategy and Security, Forward Networks for a practical discussion on how federal IT teams can quantify, prioritize, and eliminate technical debt—without disrupting mission-critical operations.
This session will explore how a network digital twin provides a single authoritative source of network truth to:
Identify and reduce end-of-life equipment risk
Prioritize CVEs based on real exposure paths
Continuously validate configuration compliance
Improve visibility across hybrid and multi-vendor environments
Attendees will learn how to modernize securely, reduce operational burden, and build defensible KPIs for risk and compliance reporting.
Who should attend: Federal IT engineers, cybersecurity professionals, and infrastructure managers responsible for network health, security posture, and modernization planning.
