Several Russian generals have been killed in Ukraine because their soldiers have been forced to rely on communications “in the clear,” on regular cellphones and handheld radios. But that does not necessarily translate into a permanent tactical advantage for the Ukrainians – Russia is also known for its hacking skills. If their secure communications are breached, Ukrainian forces also can be at risk.

There is no more timely example of network operations at the edge than this, but the same advantages apply to edge users in many other areas, such as emergency responders at a natural disaster. Further, adopting Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) technology supports services delivery in a matter of minutes instead of days or weeks. Using the network itself as a sensor can provide the visibility to support network operations securely even in rapidly changing or volatile environments.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss strategies to approach this important approach to network modernization.
