Close the Loop:
February 25, 2026 | 12:00 PM ET
Lumen’s journey toward safe autonomous networking shows what happens when evidence-based AIOps is paired with disciplined, governed orchestration. By clearly separating decision-making from execution, Lumen dramatically reduced alert noise, accelerated root cause analysis, and enabled audited actions that can safely run machine to machine. The result is a practical, measurable path to closed-loop operations and steady progress toward Lumen’s North Star of 80 percent machine-to-machine interaction.
This webinar builds on the published Lumen case study and extends the conversation to what has changed since. Speakers will discuss how Lumen, in partnership with Itential and Selector work together to tighten and close control loops, how autonomy is earned through evidence and guardrails, and how emerging patterns such as MCP-enabled, role-aware agents fit into a safe operating model rather than bypassing it.
What We Will Discuss
- How Lumen reduced over a billion noisy events into explainable, actionable signals
- Why clear swim lanes between AIOps and orchestration are critical for safe autonomy
- How Lumen measures closed-loop outcomes in business and operational terms
- What “earned autonomy” looks like in practice, including where humans stay in the loop
- What has changed since the case study, including MCP, agentic patterns, and trusted tool calling
- Practical lessons operators can apply on their own path to safe autonomous networking
Who Should Attend
- Network & infrastructure leaders
- NetOps, SRE, and automation teams
- Teams operating complex networks at scale
- Anyone looking to reduce alert noise and introduce AIOps safely at scale
Why You Should Attend
- Learn how Lumen turns AI-driven insights into trusted, auditable action
- See how separating decisions from execution builds confidence and control
- Understand how autonomy is earned with evidence, guardrails, and measurement
- Explore where MCP and agent-based models fit in a safe, operator-led approach
