How do you know when the network is actually the problem?

For many IT teams, that's still one of the hardest questions to answer. Applications slow down, users complain, tickets start piling up, and teams are left trying to determine whether the issue is in the network, the cloud, a SaaS provider, or somewhere else entirely.

In this webinar, WEI Solutions Architect Sébastien Mutel sits down with Justin Ryburn, Field CTO & VP of Global Solution Engineering at Kentik, to discuss why network observability has become a critical capability for modern enterprises—and how AI is beginning to reshape network operations.

The conversation explores the growing gap between traditional monitoring tools and the level of insight today's IT organizations need to support hybrid environments, cloud services, data centers, and increasingly complex application ecosystems. Justin also shares his perspective on the current state of AI in NetOps, where organizations are finding real value today, and what the path toward autonomous network operations may look like over the next several years.

Topics include:

• Why traditional monitoring often falls short when troubleshooting performance issues
• The difference between network monitoring and network observability
• AI hype versus practical AI use cases in IT operations
• Building the data foundation required for successful AI initiatives
• How Kentik helps organizations gain deeper insight into traffic, performance, and user experience
• The evolution from assisted troubleshooting to autonomous network operations

If you're responsible for network infrastructure, cloud operations, security, or IT strategy, this session offers practical insights into how leading organizations are improving operational awareness, reducing troubleshooting time, and preparing for the next generation of AI-powered network management.
