Open networking and disaggregated architectures are reshaping how organisations build and operate connectivity, offering flexibility while introducing new complexity. Multi-vendor interoperability is essential but brings challenges in integration and operational simplicity. At the same time, security is being embedded directly into the network layer, alongside growing interest in quantum-safe approaches. This session explores how to modernise network infrastructure using open models without creating fragile, tool-heavy environments, focusing on resilience, adaptability, and long-term sustainability.

• Strategies for open networking and disaggregated architectures
• Managing interoperability across vendors and platforms
• Embedding security into the network layer
• Building resilient and adaptable network environments
