Forward Networks announced it has been recognized with the Hot
Company in Cloud Security Award from Cyber Defense Magazine's 2023
Global InfoSec Awards. The company is revolutionizing the way large
networks are managed through its advanced software that delivers a
"digital twin" of the network, enabling network operators to visualize
the network, confirm policy compliance, and simplify network management.
The platform supports devices from all major networking vendors and
cloud operators, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
Forward Networks is the only company that provides an integrated view
of the entire hybrid multi-cloud network with the ability to drill down
to single devices or instances. This single source of truth provides
NOC and SOC engineers the data and insight needed to ensure security
policies are enforced and the network is reliable. By collecting and
parsing information on all devices in the network and their behavior,
Forward is taking the pain out of critical but tedious and time
consuming tasks like identifying and remediating CVEs that impact the
network, identifying the blast radius of a compromised host,
understanding endpoint vulnerabilities and proving the security posture
is being enforced as intended.
"We're honored to receive the Hot Company in Cloud Security award from Cyber Defense Magazine's Global InfoSec Awards," said David Erickson,
CEO and co-founder, Forward Networks. "This award continues to build
upon Forward's recent momentum as we achieved 139% year-over-year growth
last year and raised a $50M Series D in
January. We're focused on providing network and security teams alike
with the tools they need to be successful, both in the cloud and
on-premises."
Global InfoSec judges, all CISSP, FMDHS, CEH, certified security
professionals, voted based on their independent review of submitted
materials and were looking for best of breed, next generation InfoSec
solutions.
"We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could
make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the
exponential growth in cyber-crime. Forward Networks is absolutely worthy
of this coveted award and consideration for deployment in your
environment," said Yan Ross, Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.
