Towards AI/ML Powered Networks
The 9th Edition will take place next 12 and 13 November 2024 at the Hotel Pullman Paris Centre.The programme will propose testimonies from enterprises, SPs and hyperscalers in order to highlight the current trends in the SD-WAN, SASE & SSE areas.
Renowned experts will discuss the cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of secure access technologies.
The Agenda: AI Driven SD-WAN & SASE, Zero Trust Everywhere
A large part of the agenda will be dedicated this year to AI & ML challenges and field implications: how automation, troubleshooting and predictive maintenance can be used to advance customer experience.ZTNA is also given a special highlight, but through realistic point of vue: it is demonstrated that it is key to assess whether the operational benefits and security enhancements of ZTNA justify the costs and complexity in each scenario.
Other sessions cover architectural choices, deployments and network performance.
“The whole market is maturing. All the participants, the vendors, the service providers, the enterprises are really considering how to deploy SD-WAN & SASE at scale, securely, and taking into account the challenges of real deployments.” Carsten Rossenhoevel, Managing Director, EANTC
The SD-WAN & SASE Summit 2023 has confirmed once again its rank as European number one event in its realm. The 8th edition, which took place last 12th and 13th December 2023 in Paris, welcomed participants from more than 30 countries. Challenges and questions
During the conference, experts described how these technologies behind acronyms are expanding their scope in new multiple domains. They demonstrated that SDWAN maintains a mature position while SASE and SSE are now in production. A lot of unanswered questions remain however.
As organizations embark on SASE and/or SSE, they encounter various challenges, including the lack of comprehensive functionality from vendors and the need to compromise between SDWAN and security aspects. Conference speakers gave an overview of the integration challenges between SASE and SD-WAN + SSE, highlighting pros and cons of each approach.
In fact, as each year, the big players in the industry were present on the floor of the SD‑WAN & SASE Summit exhibition, providing the visitors an exact overview of the ecosystem.
