Federal agencies are under pressure to comply with the DoD Zero Trust Strategy, achieve and maintain FedRAMP Authority to Operate (ATO), and ensure mission-critical resilience in increasingly complex environments. Traditional perimeter defenses and manual audits can’t keep pace with these demands.
Forward Enterprise delivers the world’s first network digital twin—a vendor-agnostic model of your entire environment—that continuously verifies compliance, validates Zero Trust enforcement, and accelerates secure deployments.
In dynamic media production settings, rapid issue resolution is crucial. With Forward Enterprise's Network Query Engine (NQE), your team can:
Forward Enterprise's digital twin technology offers unparalleled visibility into complex network topologies, enabling teams to address issues proactively and maintain seamless media operations.
The NIST SP 800-215 Guide to a Secure Enterprise Network Landscape is a cornerstone reference for federal agencies modernizing their IT and security architectures. This publication provides critical insights into the limitations of traditional perimeter defenses, VPNs, and MPLS, and outlines how Zero Trust, microsegmentation, and automation can secure today’s hybrid enterprise environments.
One of the biggest hurdles federal agencies face is obtaining and maintaining a FedRAMP ATO—especially in environments that change rapidly. The NCC Group’s “What Is a FedRAMP ATO” guide breaks down the process, challenges, and best practices for continuous authorization. Forward Networks is engineered to help agencies meet those demands by automating compliance, proving policy enforcement, and reducing audit friction.
In October 2022, the DoD released its first formal Zero Trust Strategy, mandating a shift from perimeter-based defense to a “never trust, always verify” model across the entire DoD Information Enterprise (DODIN). Forward Networks is uniquely positioned to support agencies as they realize this vision—translating strategic goals into provable network-level assurance, validation, and continuous compliance.
Key Highlights:
Forward’s Role:
Commercial industries like Financial Services and Service Providers depend on network digital twins to fully understand their global networks and optimize their network operations. Forward Enterprise delivers that same measurable mission impact and cost savings across complex federal environments as well. By reducing downtime, accelerating secure deployments, and streamlining compliance, agencies can reallocate resources toward core objectives and warfighter readiness.
