Staying Current When Attacks Move at AI Speed

AI is dramatically changing both the pace of software development and the threat landscape. New models can find, exploit and help identify and remediate vulnerabilities much faster than traditional development cycles. This session will explore what that means for operators running millions of devices, and why staying current on the platform matters more than ever.

RDK Ready: From Hardware to Onboarding to Platform Assurance

The RDK Ready program is a practical path for improving platform readiness from hardware validation through onboarding and assurance. Glee and Johan will discuss how clear validation models, operator alignment, and partner participation can reduce repeated integration work, accelerate deployment cycles, and give the ecosystem greater confidence that devices, components, and programs are ready to scale. Participating SoCs will then join as a panel to discuss their experiences with RDK Ready and discuss how this benefits the RDK ecosystem.

Beyond Connectivity: Extending the Reach of RDK-B

RDK-B has traditionally provided operators with a common foundation for managing broadband devices and connectivity. But where does the platform go next as the connected home increasingly becomes a services environment? In this fireside chat, Oscar Gallego will discuss Vodafone’s perspective on the evolution of RDK-B, its potential to support a broader portfolio of home services, and the role of open platforms in making those services easier to develop, integrate and scale. The conversation will also explore how Vodafone is extending the reach of its RDK-B capabilities beyond its own operations. Rather than traditional platform syndication, the proposition is aimed at giving other operators access to proven capabilities while allowing them to retain their own customer relationship, market positioning and service strategy. At its core, the discussion will address a strategic question for the industry: how can operators collaborate on the technology underneath the experience while continuing to differentiate where it matters to their customers?
