Forward Networks Recognized as a Tenable Silver Technology Partner

We are excited to announce that Forward Networks is now a Silver Technology Partner with Tenable , a global leader in cybersecurity and exposure management.

This partnership highlights our commitment to enhancing network security by integrating with Tenable’s leading vulnerability management solutions to provide a comprehensive and streamlined vulnerability software solution for our joint customers.

Vulnerability scanning is crucial for proactively identifying weaknesses in network devices, hosts, and applications. However, the sheer volume of data generated by these tools can often be overwhelming, making it difficult for security teams to prioritize and remediate the most critical threats. This is where Forward Networks’ digital twin platform comes into play.

The Exposure Analysis feature within the network digital twin platform integrates seamlessly with Tenable’s vulnerability data, transforming unstructured vulnerability data into actionable insights. By leveraging our platform’s advanced network modeling capabilities, security teams can quickly identify which hosts with critical vulnerabilities are accessible from exposure points such as the internet or VPN connections.

This creates a layered vulnerability software solution that allows teams to focus on addressing the most pressing threats to their network’s security posture.

Our network digital twin automatically pulls the latest vulnerability reports from Tenable Security Center during regular network data collection, ensuring that the data is always up-to-date without impacting performance.

The information is then processed and categorized into three main sections: Exposure Points, Overview, and Vulnerability Report. This structured analysis provides a clear picture of the network’s security status, highlighting the number of vulnerable hosts, their exposure level, and the potential impact of compromised systems.

In addition to providing a comprehensive view of vulnerable hosts, Forward Networks’ digital twin offers detailed information, including IP addresses, risk scores, reachable services, and blast radius analysis. This helps security teams understand not just where the vulnerabilities are, but also their potential impact on critical infrastructure.

With the integration of Forward Networks and Tenable, organizations can significantly reduce the time and effort required to prioritize and address host vulnerabilities, ensuring that their networks remain secure and compliant. As a Silver Technology Partner, Forward Networks is committed to helping our customers navigate the complexities of network security with the most advanced tools and insights available.?
