Enterprise networks have evolved into sprawling hybrid estates that span multi-vendor on-premises infrastructure, multiple public clouds, and SD-WAN overlays, but the tools used to operate them have not kept pace. Engineers still shift between CLIs, dashboards, and tribal knowledge to answer basic questions about reachability, configuration drift, compliance posture, and security exposure.

Join this session to explore the challenge of managing the hybrid estate by building a mathematically accurate digital twin of the entire network and serving as a vendor-agnostic system of record, a foundation that also powers natural-language investigation, AI agents, agentic workflows, and pre-change verification.

This showcase takes a practical look at how operators are using the digital twin to collapse troubleshooting cycles and harden security posture. Discussion points include:

• How does a digital network function as an authoritative system of record across the hybrid network?
• How do engineers investigate the network in natural language without sacrificing the precision the NOC requires?
• How to verify proposed changes against the live twin before they reach the CAB or the CI/CD pipeline?
