SReXperts Americas

Nokia’s Network Operating Systems, SR OS and SR Linux, lead the way in model-driven management and automation, but have you been using them to their full potential?  This knowledge primer will expose engineers of all experience to programmability and automation of the Network Operating Systems using model-driven interfaces, on and off-box interfaces and associated tools and programming languages.

This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.

Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP) has been managing networks at the centre of the internet and critical infrastructure for years but there is more to it than red/green network management.  This primer will focus on using the programmability and automation functions of the NSP to automate configuration, manage path control, provide event driven management and visualize streaming data.

This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.

Nokia’s Event-Driven Automation (EDA) is a modern infrastructure automation platform for the data-center that combines speed with reliability and simplicity. It makes network automation more trustworthy and easier to use, from small edge clouds to the largest AI fabrics. This knowledge primer will focus on the programmability and automation functions of EDA to provide configuration management, telemetry and observability.

This session is designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.

BGP hijacks and route leaks aren't hypothetical anymore — they're front-page incidents, they're driving regulatory attention, and they're increasingly a question your customers and auditors are asking you to answer. The good news: the tools to stop them have matured fast. RPKI Route Origin Validation is production-ready, ASPA is landing at the major RIRs to close the route-leak gap that ROV alone can't cover, and BMP-based observability is finally making it possible to see your routing security posture in real time instead of finding out about problems after the fact. This workshop is a practical, live-demo-driven deep dive into deploying these controls on Nokia SR OS and SR Linux, using a fully containerized lab environment throughout. We'll start with RPKI Route Origin Validation on SR OS, watching a live hijack get caught and invalidated as we change ROAs in real time. From there, we move to route leaks — the class of attack ROV can't stop — and show how ASPA path validation closes that gap, using BMP telemetry to get that visibility today, even ahead of full router-side enforcement. That BMP feed becomes the foundation for the workshop's centerpiece: RAVEN, Nokia's new open-source BGP routing security observability tool, which correlates BMP, RPKI, and ASPA data into a single real-time security posture view — including catching stealthy hijacks that control-plane checks alone would miss. We'll round things out by closing the loop from detection to action with FlowSpec-based mitigation and take a look at what's coming next for RPKI and BMP support on SR Linux.

We'll close with a practical best-practices checklist you can take back and start applying immediately — no lab required. Whether you're just starting your RPKI rollout or already running ROV in production and wondering what's next, you'll leave with working configs, a reusable containerlab topology, and a clear view of where BGP routing security is headed.

The most active DDoS botnets today are built from millions of compromised Android TV boxes, consumer devices, and other IoT equipment — with a growing number of these devices located inside your networks or your customers' networks. This army of devices forms a shadow infrastructure that remains largely invisible to conventional scanning and monitoring.

In this session, we lift the hood on how attackers gain control over these devices, how they manage and coordinate them at scale, and how they are used not only for massive DDoS attacks, but also for other malicious activities.

We will then walk through how Deepfield researchers infiltrate and analyze botnet families, to uncover how they operate and how this intelligence is used in Secure Genome and the Deepfield solution to help you protect your network from attacks and to neutralize infected bots within your access networks.

This workshop is intended for Network Engineers, Security Engineers, and anybody interested to learn how botnets work and are used for launching DDoS attacks or other activities, and what you can do about it. 

This is an interactive session. Bring your questions. Bring your war stories.

Over the past year, DDoS has evolved from a “big pipes vs. bigger pipes” problem into a far more asymmetric threat: fast‑moving botnets, residential proxy infrastructure, and short, high‑impact bursts that often end before traditional mitigation can react. Attackers have evolved — and network defenses must evolve with them.

In this session, we show how Nokia Deepfield Secure Genome tracks global DDoS activity and feeds this intelligence directly into Deepfield Defender. You will see how Defender turns threat intelligence into protection, either by leveraging the filtering power of your routers or by diverting traffic to Nokia DMS scrubbing appliances.

We then introduce Deepfield Genome Shield, our always‑on, protection layer that neutralises infected bots within your own (or customer) networks and provides instant protection against short‑duration burst attacks. Together, Defender and Genome Shield shift DDoS protection from reactive response to continuous pro-active, network‑native defense.

Finally, we introduce the integrated “Ask Deepfield” assistant, demonstrating how natural‑language interaction simplifies day‑to‑day operations — from Defender policy configuration to DDoS analysis and reporting.
