This is the 4th and last event of the 2023 ETSI ZSM Webinar Series. The ultimate target of zero-touch network & service automation is a largely autonomous operation, enabling self-management, self-healing and self-optimization – without further human intervention. Trust is a major barrier to adoption and striving to build it requires a continuous learning process. As more automation processes are deployed and operate securely and efficiently, human trust will increase. Having native security (e.g. an adaptive secured framework, access control, trustworthiness, data protection) can help to establish confidence and instill trust as the automated processes deliver the intended business outcomes.
The webinar will present the results of the comprehensive study that was conducted by the ZSM group in ETSI report ZSM010 on potential security threats and risks to the ZSM framework and solutions. It will introduce mitigation options, countermeasures and security controls to address them. Furthermore, it will present additional capabilities and services being specified in ETSI ZSM 014 to ensure secured and trusted ZSM framework and solutions. Finally, a PoC on security SLA assurance in 5G network slices will be demonstrated.

This is the 1st event of the 2023 ETSI ZSM Webinar Series. This webinar will describe how the ZSM framework can be used for the cross-domain management and orchestration of end-to-end services. Based on the ETSI specification ZSM 008, it will cover the lifecycle management processes for the onboarding, fulfilment and assurance of general end-to-end services and will demonstrate how these processes can be realized leveraging the northbound interfaces of different technology domains, such as 3GPP Radio Access, Fixed Access, 3GPP Core and Transport, to realize these processes across different technology domains. Further, the mechanisms defined by ETSI ZSM 003 for the management and orchestration of network slices will be introduced. Finally, two proofs of concept (PoCs) demonstrating the ZSM end-to-end approach will be presented. The PoCs focus on autonomy, as well as on service scaling in multisite environments.

The ZSM Approach for E2E Service Orchestration: Standards and Proofs of Concept

New technologies, in particular artificial intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) are essential today for profiling users, in order to cope with their expectations to communicate "anywhere, anytime, on any device, for every service, with everyone ". 
It is important however to put the user at the center of the data system. Therefore, ETSI has developed a model allowing to design a user-centric digital clone for the smart identity, application independent, and leaving control of data to the user. This step will lead to the design of the Smart Interface.
In this webinar, the ETSI User Group will present their work and a Proof of Concept (POC), that demonstrates the possibility of digitizing personal information, by delivering the active user profile at any time.

A user-centric approach of smart digital identity by ETSI

This webinar will present the recently published ETSI GS MEC 040 specification, on “MEC Federation Enablement APIs”, which is critical to enable inter-MEC system communication and allow 5G operators to collaborate among themselves and with service cloud providers and other stakeholders. This new specification relates to the Telco Edge Cloud concept and the requirements introduced by GSMA OPG (Operator Platform Group), and it defines new APIs for the enablement of the MEC federation, by allowing operators to "federate" edge computing resources by offering their MEC service capabilities for: mutual consumption; application developers; and end customers (e.g. vertical market segments).
