Forward Networks is proud to announce that we have been recognized again for our industry-leading security capabilities—winning the Global InfoSec Award for the third consecutive year and the Security Today Govies Award for the second year in a row.

This year, Cyber Defense Magazine honored Forward Networks with the Trailblazer Compliance Award in its 13th Annual Global InfoSec Awards. Simultaneously, Security Today named Forward Enterprise a winner in the Security & Risk Intelligence category of the Govies Awards. These accolades celebrate our commitment to helping security operations (SecOps) teams stay compliant, secure, and efficient—even as networks become more complex and the attack surface expands.

Forward Networks' Award-winning, Mathematically-accurate Digital Twin

At the heart of this recognition is the Forward Enterprise platform, the only network digital twin based on a mathematical model. This unique technical differentiation enables it to deliver continuous security compliance monitoring, prioritized CVE remediation plans based on actual CVEs present in the network and device exposure, at-a-glance security posture management, Zero Trust policy validation, and an always-accurate network inventory (and many other features designed to fully support NetOps, SecOps, and CloudOps teams). Our platform empowers SecOps teams with instant, actionable insight—without the need to expand resources or rely on error-prone manual processes.

These awards are more than milestones; they are proof that our network digital twin technology is transforming how organizations maintain security across hybrid, multi-cloud environments.

To all our partners, customers, and employees: thank you for helping to make this continued success possible.Want to learn more?
