A single-source-of-truth for 
different mission needs

INSTANT SCALABILITY

Federal agencies are tapping into the virtual capabilities and instant scalability of cloud-enabled rapid adoption while also scaling up remote work, mission-critical apps, and services. More cloud options to deploy – a mix of private, public and shared clouds to meet different mission needs – and a hybrid cloud expands the complexity and increases requirements for new toolsets and skillsets. Overstretched IT teams need a new approach to overcome siloed, distributed estates to quickly understand and manage their cloud networks.

ANY CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

Forward Networks can improve the agility, predictability and security of federal cloud environments as they evolve – regardless of whether that environment is public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud, or a mix of these.

END-TO-END CONNECTIVITY

By providing total transparency and automated analysis of the entire hybrid, multi-cloud estate in one intuitive view, Forward Networks cuts through the noise, making it easier for federal IT teams to visualize, verify, search, and predict the behaviors of their cloud estates. And when agencies have a deep understanding of end-to-end connectivity, they can mature multi-cloud networks, validate zero-trust policies, and ensure traffic is adhering to the most cost-effective pathways.

  • GAIN A SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH ACROSS DISTRIBUTED HYBRID AND MULTI-CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

    ✓  A unified, normalized view across physical, virtual, and cloud estates (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud)

    ✓  Intuitive visualization of all possible traffic paths – private and public clouds as well as on-premises networks

    ENFORCE ZERO-TRUST POLICIES TO SECURE REMOTE WORK AND SENSITIVE MISSION DATA

    ✓  Automated audit checks across agency estates from on-premises data centers to multi-cloud enforce compliance as a permanent posture

    ✓  Prove network or application isolation at a glance

  • ACCELERATE NEW CLOUD SSERVICES WITH AUTOMATED SECURITY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATIONS

    ✓  Verification checks as a self-service – DevSecOps teams can verify that new cloud apps meet security and connectivity policies quickly before deploying

    ✓  Unify network, security, and development teams

    DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHTS INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND ELIMINATE COSTLY SURPRISES

    ✓  Quickly identify multi-cloud routing mistakes with hop-by-hop visibility and verification checks

    ✓  Realize promised efficiencies and resolve network issues up to 80% faster before they drain time and money

Enforcing zero-trust postures in evolving, distributed cloud environments requires not just a firewall manager but a complete understanding of the connectivity of the entire agency network and its current behaviors. Agencies need a new approach to proactively preventing misconfigurations that lead to openings for bad actors. And they need a way to permanently maintain compliance without expending resources on time-intensive manual audits.

SIMPLIFY ENFORCEMENT OF ON-PREM SECURITY POLICIES

Agencies can automate the application verification process with Forward Network’s path analysis, device state, and security posture data.

CUSTOMIZE INTENT CHECKS

Teams deploying cloud applications can create and run custom intent checks that ensure policy compliance on new applications
