Enhancing Network Survivability & Efficiency Using AI Ops & Zero Trust Security

This panel discussion provides you with insights into: 1) How the successful integration of AI and automation into network operations: • Improves situational awareness and decision-making ability • Reduces the number of tools needed to diagnose and resolve problems • Reduces troubleshooting time • Identifies proactive actions to address issues before they become resource consuming disruptive problems The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can provide unprecedented visibility into network performance. During this discussion we will explore this and how leveraging AIOps Insights, a Verizon developed suite of AI powered network monitoring and management tools, is empowering our customer’s and their network performance. Aggregating data from sources spanning the entire network stack, AIOps Insights presents a unified view of any Verizon customer’s network in an intuitive user interface. Combined with advanced Machine Learning (ML) capabilities, AIOps Insights offers valuable insights into network health, identifies performance trends and helps analyze the root cause of problems while reducing customer network operations workloads. 2) How you can reduce your risk level and thus improve resiliency with a zero trust architecture. A Zero Trust Architecture helps to prevent breaches by making applications, data and services essentially inaccessible to attackers while allowing trusted users to securely and directly connect to protected resources from virtually anywhere. During the second part of this session, learn about what Zero trust is, the benefits of a zero trust architecture and how it can transform your network security.
