Lumen to acquire Alkira

Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: LUMN) today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Alkira, a cloud-native, carrier-agnostic networking platform that enables enterprises to design, deploy, and operate connectivity and network services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The proposed transaction pairs Alkira's cloud-native control plane - the software layer that programs and orchestrates connectivity - with Lumen's fiber network, advancing Lumen's digital platform strategy to deliver cloud-like consumption for global enterprise networking.

The future of networking: programmability and automation

In Part two, we examined secure by design principles, with a approach, secure access service edge (SASE), and quantum-safe planning becoming non-negotiable foundations for the next decade. Automation is another pivotal strand to the change that's taking place. Instead of relying on manual command-line interfaces (CLI), tomorrow's networks will be defined by code, workflows, and application programming interfaces (APIs). From infrastructure as code (IaC) and observability to evolving skillsets, automation is not just about efficiency - it is becoming the DNA of modern networking.

The future of networking: secure by design

Network design is being transformed faster than ever, as firms move to meet workers in new environments, apply simplified security on top of complex infrastructure and embrace cloud-native work. This article is part two of a three-part series, exploring the trends reshaping networking. In part one, we unpacked the rise of cloud-native networking, where service meshes, , and open standards are reshaping connectivity. However, agility alone is not enough. As threats multiply and data spreads across clouds, branches, and home offices, networks must be secure by design. This means building in principles, embracing frameworks like secure access service edge (SASE) and security service edge (SSE) , as well as preparing for a quantum-safe future.
