Demonstrations of Forward Enterprise Digital Twin Technology

In this Demo Tuesday session, Mike will show you how the data delivered by Forward Enterprise helps Cloud Ops and SecOps teams protect their network and ensure it stays in compliance. In this session, Mike demonstrates how to:

1. Provide a cloud security posture breakdown.
2. Identify config-based vulnerabilities in devices.
3. Determine the potential impact of a security breach on a specific host.
4. Integrate with vulnerability scanners like Rapid 7 and Tenable.
5. Offer asset inventory features and network query language (NQE) for deeper network insights.

In this demo Mike will show how Forward Networks' digital twi can:
- Help network teams to quickly verify conditions in the network and resolve issues, reducing the need for senior team members to be constantly involved.
- identify issues such as an open port that shouldn't be, and identify the likely cause of the issue.
- Forward's alert the team when the intent of the network changes, such as when a port that should not be open is detected.
- provide a history of collections, showing whether each one passed or failed, and why, aiding in troubleshooting.

Streamline decommissioning efforts and prevent unintended consequences by providing actionable access to critical data.

In this session, Mike shows how easy it is to determine the blast radius of a compromised host and isolate it even while on vacation. (Because that's what we all want to do on vacation right?)

Join us for an insightful webinar featuring Mike Lossmann, a seasoned professional with over 18 years of expertise in managing the world's most intricate and demanding networks. Discover how the implementation of a network digital twin can revolutionize the daily operations of NetOps engineers.

Mike will demonstrate how this innovative approach allows for swift diagnosis of issues such as connectivity problems, with solutions pinpointed within seconds. Through the platform, the NetOps team can proactively address potential configuration errors before they impact end-users, ensuring a seamless experience.

Furthermore, delve into how a digital twin simplifies the process of troubleshooting, making it akin to child's play (albeit with a peculiar child, but you get the gist). Mike will showcase its effectiveness in validating network integrity during significant events like AWS connectivity failures. With the platform offering intuitive insights into the AWS environment, understanding complex issues becomes accessible even to non-technical individuals. Bid farewell to the days of frantic conference calls and endless troubleshooting sessions—the solution is at your fingertips. Join us to explore the future of network management!

Join Mike Lossmann, an expert with over 18 years of experience in handling complex networks, for a practical session on network security. Mike will demonstrate how to quickly prove network security for an audit using a digital twin, network snapshots, and a security posture assessment tool. This tool provides an instant and up-to-date view of microsegmentation across the network.

Join Mike Lossmann, a network expert with over 18 years of experience, and Jack Chen, Principal Customer Solutions Engineer at Forward Networks, for an insightful webinar. They will demonstrate how a network digital twin can address common questions from SecOps and Cyber Security Engineers. In this hands-on demo, you'll see how the Forward Enterprise Platform easily identifies rogue devices in real time

Managing a DoD network often means dealing with the challenges of STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) compliance. These guides are essential for network security, but maintaining compliance is notoriously difficult due to the complexity and ever-evolving nature of large networks—a challenge familiar to enterprise engineers. In this demo, Mike Lossmann, Forward Networks TME and host of Demo Tuesday, teams up with Sean Deveci, Federal Technical Solutions Architect, to showcase how Forward Networks has integrated compliance checks that instantly inform network engineers about their STIG compliance status and pinpoint any issues. Say goodbye to compliance headaches!

Join Mike Lossmann, a digital twin expert with over 18 years of experience in managing complex networks, as he demonstrates AI Assist, a generative AI feature in Forward Enterprise. AI Assist allows engineers to interact with the network as if they were conversing with a colleague. This feature enables querying the network to understand its behavior, troubleshoot issues, and prove compliance using natural language. Attend this session to see AI Assist in action.

In today's Demo Tuesday, we will showcase how Forward Networks ensures your zero trust policies are effectively enforced and that traffic correctly passes through designated enforcement points, avoiding any circumvention of set policies. The demo will also highlight our continuously updated security posture.

In this 30-minute demo filmed at Cisco Live Las Vegas, Mike takes the audience through the top Forward Networks Use Cases. If you aren't ready for a personalized demo, but you want to see what the product can do, this session is for you. He'll cover how Forward Enterprise helps NetOps, SecOps and Cloud Ops teams be more effective and efficient using the. platform that generates an average of $14.2 million in annual benefits to its customers.

In this video, Mike demonstrates how to merge segments for an integrated view in highly segmented networks.

Agency IT departments are charged with maintaining mission-ready
networks to support services, remote work, and support warfighter
operations. These networks are highly segmented to tightly control
access and contain risk in the event of a security incident.
Within agency networks, various segments often fall under
distinct administrative controls, making it nearly impossible to
visualize connectivity, ensure security zone segmentation, or
perform a complete path search. While necessary for security, this
segmentation can hinder troubleshooting and optimization efforts,
especially when network issues span multiple domains. Forward
Enterprise addresses this challenge with its innovative “merged
snapshots” feature.
