The award recognition marks Forward’s third straight year winning a Global InfoSec Award, after being awarded the “Market Leader in Vulnerability Assessment, Remediation, and Management” award in 2024 and the “Hot Company in Cloud Security” award in 2023.
Forward Enterprise is the only network digital twin that delivers an always-accurate compliance status for the entire network, accompanied by a prioritized remediation plan for any issues identified during data collection. Forward Enterprise gathers configuration and state data from all L2-L7 devices within the network, on-prem and cloud.

“Security compliance continues to grow in importance as the attack surface evolves and new threats emerge. At Forward Enterprise, our goal is to reduce uncertainty by providing an accurate, up-to-date view of compliance, along with clear, actionable insights when changes are needed to protect the network,” said Chiara Regale, SVP of Product and UX at Forward Networks. “We’re focused on helping security teams move away from time-consuming manual processes while delivering unprecedented insight into their security posture. Being recognized as a Global InfoSec Award winner for the third year in a row is truly an honor, and a testament to our team’s dedication.”
