Firewall Policy Analysis

Staring at a hodgepodge of ancient firewall rules across your multi-vendor environment is like being the curator of a digital museum nobody asked for. You want to clean house, but the fear of breaking something is real. Don’t you wish there were an easier way to navigate this hodgepodge and actually delete rules that are unused? Tune in Tuesday, September 16th, to see how Forward Networks can help with this!

VPNs and Zero-Trust Architecture: How They Fit Together

The cybersecurity landscape has shifted dramatically in recent years. Remote work, cloud adoption, and increasingly complex digital ecosystems have expanded the attack surface for businesses. Traditional perimeter defenses no longer provide sufficient protection. In response, organizations are turning to two powerful tools: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA). Though distinct in purpose, they can complement one another in meaningful ways.

Tenant Matters: Enabling Safe SaaS Adoption with CASB Tenant Awareness

Imagine your marketing team needs to share a product roadmap with a partner, so they drop it into a shared OneDrive folder. Everything looks fine — same interface, same app — but no one realizes the file was uploaded to the partner’s personal OneDrive account instead of their corporate tenant. Days later, the file is still accessible from an unmanaged device, with no audit trail, no data loss protection, and no way to revoke access.

Troubleshooting Complex Multi-Cloud Connectivity Issues with Forward Enterprise

Cloud issues are hard to pin down — especially when you're juggling multiple providers. In this video, we walk through a real-world connectivity issue between two major clouds and show how Forward Enterprise can cut through the noise, surface hidden problems, and get your mean time to insights fast — no guesswork, no finger-pointing.

Threat intelligence, DNS detection and response, and DNS firewall: The future-proof defense every network needs

When it comes to incident response, every network admin knows the drill—endpoints trip alarms, firewalls block traffic, SOC dashboards light up with alerts. But the real story almost always starts earlier—in DNS. Long before malware detonates or data leaves the building, an attack whispers its intent in a query. Newly registered domains, fast-flux campaigns, suspicious TXT lookups—in all of these actions, DNS is where adversaries test the waters.

How to Adopt Agentic AI Without Adding Risk: Guarding Against Errors at Scale

Agentic AI—the emerging class of autonomous systems that can plan, decide, and act with limited human oversight—has become one of the most talked-about technologies of 2025. The promise is enormous: faster operations, automated decision-making, and the ability to handle complexity at scale.

Securing AI Workloads in Kubernetes: Why Traditional Network Security Isn't Enough

The AI revolution is here, and it’s running on Kubernetes. From fraud detection systems to generative AI platforms, AI-powered applications are no longer experimental projects; they’re mission-critical infrastructure. But with great power comes great responsibility, and for Kubernetes platform teams, that means rethinking security.

Over 50% of Enterprise External Assets Lack WAF Protection, Including PII Pages

In our day-to-day work and conversations with security experts, one concern comes up regularly: how consistent is our WAF protection? Our answer is always the same: not as much as you think. The truth is that in the case of enterprises, web application firewall (WAF) coverage is rarely uniform. Protection is often a mixed bag of products from different vendors, managed by separate teams, each guarding only part of the attack surface.

DAFITC FOMO? 3 Takeaways from the Air Force's Biggest Cyber Conference

At DAFITC 2025, Forward Networks drew attention with a field-ready booth and tactical charm, but the real conversation centered on operational readiness in cybersecurity. This post highlights three major themes from the event that reflect the evolving needs of Air Force cyber operators, and how digital twin technology is helping address them.
