The Path to Autonomous Networking Starts Here

Networks have never been more critical, more complex, or more difficult to run with confidence. The infrastructure powering global finance, healthcare, and commerce has outgrown the tools built to manage it, and the teams responsible for keeping it running deserve better than guesswork. Forward is on a mission to change that.

The Forward Platform: Your Network Understood, Past, Present, and Future

Running a hybrid network today means managing complexity that the tools in your stack were never designed for. Constant change, multi-cloud environments, a security perimeter that shifts daily, and no single place to go for a verified answer about what your network is actually doing.

Forward Predict: Know the Impact of Your Network Changes Before You Push

What if your team could know exactly what a network change would do before it touched production, not a best guess, not built on incomplete data, but a mathematically verified outcome drawn from an accurate model of your actual network? That is what Forward Predict delivers.

How Forward Helps You Respond to CVE-2025-53521 and the CISA KEV Listing for F5 BIG-IP APM

CVE-2025-53521 was first disclosed by F5 in October 2025 as part of their quarterly security advisory cycle. At that point, it was classified as a denial-of-service vulnerability with a CVSS v4 score of 8.7. Many security teams logged it and moved on, reasonably treating it as a lower-priority item in an already full patch queue.

How Forward Networks Helps You Respond to CISA Emergency Directive 26-03

CISA issued Emergency Directive 26-03 in response to active exploitation of vulnerabilities in Cisco SD-WAN management systems, specifically Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager and SD-WAN Controller platforms. The vulnerabilities include an authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2026-20127) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative privileges and manipulate network configuration, and a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2022-20775) that enables local privilege escalation to root.

RSAC 2026: Building a Verifiable Foundation for the Agentic Era

Walking the halls of Moscone Center last week, the energy was high, but the conversation had a notably different edge than last year. In 2025, everyone was asking, "What can AI do?" This year, "How can we trust it?" As the theme "The Power of Community" echoed across the keynotes, one thing became clear: a community is only as strong as its foundation. For network and cybersecurity professionals to truly operate as one, we must move beyond fragmented data to a single, trusted source of truth.

Why Your AI Workflow Should Never Depend on a Single Model

Network engineers have long understood redundancy. Redundant power, redundant links, redundant clusters. The reasoning is simple: any single component that can fail, will. But AI introduces a category of failure that most infrastructure teams have not yet built defenses against. Unlike hardware, AI models can become unavailable for reasons entirely outside your organization's control.

Your Security Vision Has a Network Blind Spot

Every organization has invested in endpoint detection, identity, and cloud security, yet breaches continue to occur. You’ve secured the individual points but lack the context of how those points connect; you haven't secured the paths attackers navigate. Security teams are running more tools than ever: EDR on every endpoint, MFA for every identity, CSPM on every cloud tenant, and SIEMs ingesting terabytes of logs.
