Navigating the Agentic AI Era: Forward's Perspective from Cisco Live EMEA

Cisco Live EMEA 2026 Amsterdam has officially wrapped up, and the path forward is clear: we have entered the Agentic AI Era. The event was centered around an industry shift towards a unified platform where AI agents don't just respond; they act. At Forward Networks, we aren’t just watching this shift happen; we are providing the foundation required to make it a reality.

Solving the Hard Problems in Cybersecurity

We really enjoyed our conversation with Ed Amoroso from TAG Infosphere. We didn’t start Reach to chase headlines. We started it because the hard security problems weren’t getting solved. The important ones rarely are. Security only works when incentives are aligned to the customer’s actual outcome. Not noise. Not theater. Not (exclusively) shiny tools. That alignment is what makes the work worth doing.

Why the Defense Industrial Base is Prioritizing CMMC

As global tensions and AI-driven threats accelerate, the "trust but verify" model of the past has been replaced by a "verify then trust" mandate. At the heart of this shift is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC); a framework that has transformed from a roadmap into a non-negotiable requirement for doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD).

OpenClaw as a Security Threat - The 443 Podcast - Episode 358

This week on the podcast, we discuss OpenClaw, the open source chatbot that has exploded in popularity since launching late last year, and some of the risk it introduces to organizations. Before that, we chat about Ring's Super Bowl advertisement that caused a stir before ending with a Google Threat Intelligence Group report on advanced threat actor AI usage.

The Real Risks of Agentic AI in the Enterprise with Camille Stewart-Gloster

In this episode of Data Security Decoded, host Caleb Tolin is joined by Camille Stewart-Gloster, CEO of CAS Strategies and former Deputy National Cyber Director, to unpack how AI is redefining cyber risk at every layer of the organization. Camille explains why identity-based attacks are so effective and how non-human identities (from APIs to AI agents) are quietly expanding the attack surface. She emphasized how critical MFA is for organizations to enable as they scale up AI operations, and why conditional access and governance must be foundational, not optional.
