Agentless network monitoring represents a fundamental shift in cloud security strategy. Rather than installing software agents across every cloud resource, this approach leverages existing infrastructure to gather comprehensive security intelligence remotely.

Maintaining an Active Directory (AD) enterprise environment is no easy task. Between all the permissions, security compliances, update cycles, emergency patches, appliance configurations and more, covering all the bases could feel overwhelming at times and could lead to errors that may result in major consequences.

Understanding the differences between CWE, CVE, and KEV is critical for modern security and network teams. These acronyms represent the building blocks of threat identification and response, yet many professionals don’t fully grasp how they differ or interact. This blog breaks them down, shows their relationships, and explains how Forward Networks helps correlate them across your environment.

The virtual private network (VPN) has been the default way to connect remote employees to company resources for over two decades. In its time, the VPN was a breakthrough ‒ creating encrypted tunnels back to the corporate network and giving road warriors a way in. But today's workplace looks very different. Employees access SaaS applications directly from the Internet. Teams are distributed around the world.

It feels like the security world is caught in a recurring cycle. We see a spike in strange scanning activity, file it away as internet background noise, and then weeks later, a major zero-day exploit drops, targeting the very technology that was being scanned. The recent Cisco ASA vulnerabilities were a textbook example of this pattern. A September 4, 2025, report from GreyNoise highlighted a massive surge in scanning, with over 25,000 unique IPs probing Cisco ASA devices.
