Forward Networks announced today it has been named the winner of the Leading Cybersecurity Product for Compliance award in the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards.

The Fortress Cybersecurity Awards highlight the companies, products, and people doing the difficult work of keeping our data, systems, and digital infrastructure safe in an increasingly unpredictable environment. This year's winners represent the best of cybersecurity innovation and real-world application. These are the solutions that not only protect—but adapt.

Forward Enterprise, the only true network digital twin, is redefining how large, complex networks are secured and managed. Forward Enterprise provides current, actionable insights into network behavior, security posture, and compliance status by mathematically modeling every possible path a packet can take across multi-vendor, hybrid cloud environments.

Forward Enterprise enables SecOps teams to define automated compliance checks that continuously audit device configurations, validate segmentation and Zero Trust policies, and track the most critical CVEs actually present in the network. What once took days or weeks to assess can now be completed in seconds—empowering SecOps teams to operate with greater speed, clarity, and confidence.

With the recent addition of endpoint data collection, Forward Networks is the only network digital twin that offers true end-to-end visibility into vulnerability risk—from core network infrastructure to connected endpoints. Through integrations with Tenable, Rapid7, and NQE inquiries, security teams gain a complete picture of their risk posture of their connected infrastructure in one unified platform.

"Forward Enterprise puts detailed, actionable network data directly in the hands of SecOps teams, turning risk mitigation into a daily practice rather than a periodic fire drill," said Chiara Regale, SVP of Product and UX, Forward Networks. "By exposing every path, policy, and vulnerability in a single, unified view, our network digital twin eliminates blind spots and empowers teams to resolve issues before they become incidents. This Fortress Cybersecurity Award underscores the value of transforming compliance and risk management into a proactive, continuous discipline."
