The introduction of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) capabilities can be viewed as one of the early success stories of automation in the communications sector. This session will look at NaaS developments, how SD-WAN and SASE (secure access service edge) have paved the way for delivering secure connectivity wherever it is needed, how such services are being used, and what can be learned as greater levels of automation are introduced into cloud-based networking architectures.
