Paradigm shift with Cloud and 5G - Centralized to Distributed Networks
The Telecom industry has transformed significantly in the last 20 years. Every transformation has brought new ways of doing things, new services, and new lifestyles. It put a lot of technology in our hands and our life has become driven by devices and technologies. One may have felt, what we have in terms of communication is good enough, and that we don’t need many more changes in communication infrastructure; however, the recent pandemic has changed our perspective and we have started to think about use cases such as telehealth and remote surgery that people were not previously comfortable with. Similarly, the lack of in-person interaction and the onset of remote working and remote education enabled more use cases such as telepresence. A lot of these changes are here to stay. Another trend with FinTech and the desire to have control over our data and privacy is putting new requirements on the network. With many of these applications requiring low latency, the network edge will be highly decentralized. The cloudification and decentralization will drive many changes in the rest of the network. Key Takeaways: • Most of our network and application architectures today are centralized, meaning data is collected and processed in central locations. With edge and decentralization, this will go through a major transformation. • We talk about the hybrid cloud and disaggregated/peer-to-peer services, but are our mobile network elements built to handle the new services and use cases and network demands? • Autonomous networks are going to be a table stake in the future of the distributed/disaggregated networks. • It will be a big mindset change for vendors, Enterprises, CSPs, and consumers in every segment.

How to Use GitHub as a Common Data Source for Network Automations with Itential
GitHub is an incredibly popular platform that is primarily used by programmers to collaborate, track, and share files and code for projects they are working developing and maintaining. Because of features like file sharing, versioning, and tracking GitHub has also found popularity with a multitude of groups outside of developers. In fact, more and more networking teams who are looking to automate network processes find that they need to have a common data source for network information — and GitHub is one of those platforms they turn to in order to implement that source of truth for network data like ACLs, inventory, and more. With the Itential Automation Platform, integration with GitHub (and any platform, tool, or system) can be accomplished quickly with just a few clicks and will open up the entire library of API methods that can now be used in a network automation that you can build in a low-code, drag-and-drop workflow canvas. In this live demo, Rich Martin, Technical Marketing Engineer at Itential, will demonstrate how to integrate GitHub with the Itential Automation Platform to use for network automation. In this live demo, we will step-by-step how to: • Quickly generate an integration with GitHub with OpenAPI. • Investigate API methods from GitHub and use them as Tasks. • Build a workflow to Create, Read, and Update files from a GitHub repo. • Utilize files from GitHub as a data source for common network information.

How to Architect “Zero Trust” Network Segmentation in Industrial Control Systems
ICS environments are typically “flat”, designed with a rudimentary security posture never intended to be connected to the corporate network nor the Internet for that matter. The trend towards connectedness persists and this, along with the rising ICS threat landscape has made ICS a prime target for cyberattacks. Stronger access controls are critical for managing the different attack surfaces. During this webinar you will hear from several ICS Networking and Security expert practitioners on how this connectedness can be securely and easily achieved: · What “Zero Trust” is, how it scales, and why you would want to deploy this in your ICS along with the idea of positive enforcement for your security policies. · How to bolster your network visibility and segmentation without having to do a “forklift” overhaul and reconfiguration of your existing infrastructure. · How the Palo Alto Networks platform can help you realize these concepts in a systematic, organized, and minimally disruptive way. Speakers: Lionel Jacobs, Sr. ICS Security Architect, Palo Alto Networks Information Security Architect, Major Food & Beverage Manufacturer Del Rodillas, Solution Lead for ICS & SCADA, Palo Alto Networks

NFV, cloud-native networking and OSM: everything you need to know
Network functions virtualisation (NFV) is a technology that allows telcos to reduce operational costs and improve flexibility by migrating from legacy hardware-based appliances to software-based network functions. With an increasing demand for cloud-native services, container network functions (CNFs) are gaining momentum nowadays. Starting from release SEVEN, those are natively supported by Open Source MANO (OSM) management and orchestration stack. Join this webinar to learn about the current trends in NFV implementation. We will discuss the challenges related to CNFs orchestration and demonstrate how those can be addressed by using OSM. The webinar will follow with a live demo during which we will demonstrate how to deploy and operate network services for mobile core network management. We will use Magma (a software-centric distributed mobile packet core) and OSM as MANO platform for this purpose.

Top 5 Network Issues That a Digital Twin Can Solve in Under a Week
Let’s face it: your network is a complex, hairy beast. It eats protocols for breakfast, consumes configs for lunch, and sometimes the state outputs from its packet dinner can be… unpleasant. If your network beast includes hardware and software from dozens of vendors, spread across multiple data centers and clouds, and runs mission-critical applications with challenging security requirements… then join Brandon Heller, Forward Networks CTO and Co-founder, for this 30-min session/demo featuring real-life examples from large “beastly” enterprise networks that found a path to reliability, agility, and security.
