Forward Networks Proof of Concept: Verify Security Posture in Hybrid Multi-Cloud Environments
In an era when hybrid multi-cloud environments are the norm, extending the carefully architected network security policies is virtually impossible because IT teams cannot visualize their multi-cloud estate or monitor traffic behavior past the point of egress.
Piecing together the cloud security posture requires combining data from multiple siloedapplications. In this POC, we will demonstrate how Forward Enterprise makes it easy to prove security posture from on-premises through the cloud. With support for all major cloud providers (Amazon Web Services [AWS], Azure, and Google Cloud Platform [GCP]), Forward Enterprise enables IT engineers to:
● Visualize topology from a global level down to device detail.
● Perform hop-by-hop traffic analysis for on-prem, on-prem to cloud, and cloud to cloud; all in a single view.
● Verify zone-to-zone security policy compliance, on-prem and in the cloud.
● Prove compliance in the cloud.
