I appreciate its ability to enhance inter departmental communication. Previously, arguments on firewall and routing decisions used to be opinions based. In Forward Enterprise, we do a review of the anticipated traffic behavior prior to making changes. It is frequently used when we update our infrastructure, especially when we connect new logistics platforms to our environment. Its validation features minimise the conflicts and provide all parties with more definite expectations, thus making project coordination easier and more predictable.

I go back to the polygraph feature all the time – it really is a diagram showing you how all parts of your network are talking to each other and when you receive an alert you can actually follow the path as opposed to looking at logs and trying to guess. I am writing this while sitting on my couch, and honestly that has saved me hours during incident response.

Forward enterprises system can anticipate a network issue instead of reacting to it. It not just provide surface level monitoring but can drill into the configurations and can quickly find out the issues with reasoning.
