Building stable and secure software requires understanding build systems and having a plan for vulnerabilities in your software dependencies.

Why moving from pilots to production changes the platform Artificial intelligence has moved beyond the demonstration phase. Telco operators are already exploring it for fault diagnosis, energy management, capacity planning, customer care, and radio access network (RAN) optimization. Enterprise customers, meanwhile, are asking for private
