In 2025, risk management has climbed near the top of the CIO agenda—second only to AI adoption, according to the 2025 State of the CIO report. As global enterprises become more dependent on digital infrastructure, the consequences of network outages, misconfigurations, or security breaches have grown exponentially. CIOs, CISOs, and their teams now face the dual challenge of managing risk while enabling innovation.

In the race to modernize IT operations, automation is no longer optional—it’s essential. For network teams tasked with managing complex, hybrid environments, a Network Digital Twin (NDT) provides the trusted foundation required to automate intelligently and confidently. By offering an always-accurate, mathematically-precise virtual copy of your network, an NDT accelerates automation across key operational domains—enabling safer changes, faster audits, and more resilient infrastructure.
