Modern ISP networks can no longer rely on alarms and manual intervention to maintain uptime. This session explores how providers are designing infrastructure that can detect faults early, isolate problems automatically, and restore service through intelligent rerouting and automated remediation. The focus is on practical, real-world approaches that move operations from reactive firefighting to proactive resilience. Panelists will share deployment lessons, operational guardrails, and examples of where automation delivers the greatest return today. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how self-healing capabilities help build more reliable networks, support efficient growth, and create a competitive advantage in markets where uptime and customer trust matter most.
