"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.
