Speaker:

• Olivier Sagit – R&D Security Engineer at Orange Innovation

Conference Summary:
The demonstration “Demo Leaktrails” presented by Olivier Sagit addresses the issue of personal data leaks on the Internet, particularly passwords and credentials. According to estimates, around one million of these pieces of information leak daily worldwide. To counter this phenomenon, Olivier Sagit introduces Leaktrails, a cybersecurity research project focused on detecting and analyzing data leaks.

Leaktrails operates by scanning various online spaces, including the clear web, deep web, and dark web, to identify credential leaks. The goal is to qualify this data to analyze the affected sectors and targeted brands. Olivier emphasizes that the initiative aims to “trap” hackers by intervening between the moment the data has leaked and its malicious use.

Once the data is collected, the team processes and analyzes the information to extract maximum context. This allows for determining the relevance of the recovered credentials. In collaboration with partners, Leaktrails tests these passwords in their information systems, which can lead to preventive actions, such as prompting users to change their passwords before malicious exploitation occurs.

Olivier also highlights a major issue: the majority of users (65%) continue to use the same passwords for multiple accounts, exposing their digital identity to considerable risks. He concludes by reminding the importance of using different passwords for each account, despite the existence of solutions like Leaktrails.

Topics Covered:

• Personal data leaks on the Internet
• Functioning of Leaktrails
• Analysis of credential leaks
• Collaboration with partners for security
• User behaviors regarding passwords

Notable Quotes:

• “It is estimated that around one million passwords and credentials leak daily on the internet worldwide.”
• “Leaktrails is a cybersecurity research project that focuses on detecting personal data leaks.”
• “We try to position ourselves between the phase where data has already leaked and the use of these leaks.”
• “65% of people use the same password for multiple accounts, which exposes their digital identity.”

This demonstration highlights the importance of cybersecurity and best practices in password management to protect users against data leaks.

Speakers

• Jérôme Colombain: interviewer
• Thomas Ledru: Home Network Management Program Manager at Orange

Summary

Thomas Ledru presents the A la Carte Home demo, a major innovation for Livebox users: the ability to download applications directly onto their device. This advancement is made possible by prpl, a new open-source firmware developed with the contribution of Orange.

prpl allows for the installation of containers on gateways without requiring a complete update of the Livebox. However, to publish and make these services accessible via a store, a dedicated platform is necessary, which is precisely the role of A la Carte Home.

The types of applications considered include:

• Content filtering and cybersecurity services.
• Network traffic prioritization for specific uses, such as during important meetings (“quality on demand”).
• Integration of Amazon’s Greengrass environment for the connected home.
• Utilities that may be developed through an internal hackathon, “prpl Jam,” where Orange developers are invited to propose services.

User Interface: The installation process will be simplified, similar to that of application stores on iOS and Android, allowing users to select and install services with one click.

Speakers

• Jérôme Colombain: interviewer
• Jeremy Lacoche: XR research engineer at Orange

Summary

• During the demo “Network AR Visualization and Guidance” at the Orange OpenTech event, Jeremy Lacoche presents an innovation that uses augmented reality (AR) to enhance the efficiency of field technicians. The application, named Georeso, allows for 3D visualization of Orange’s copper and fiber network mapping, thereby facilitating technicians’ interventions.
• The engineer emphasizes that one of the main challenges faced by technicians is the correspondence between 2D information and reality on the ground, particularly in locating connection points such as manholes and street cabinets. With AR, this step is simplified, reducing intervention times.
• The application also provides visual guidance by displaying procedural steps directly within the technician’s field of vision, enabling quicker resolution of customer issues. To ensure precise localization, the team uses RTK GPS technology, which allows for locating the technician with centimeter-level accuracy.
• The application is compatible with iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as tablets. In the future, Orange plans to integrate this technology into augmented reality headsets and glasses for technicians.

Quotes

• “We leverage data from the Orange information system through the Georeso application, which catalogs the mapping of the copper and fiber network.”
• “Thanks to augmented reality, we will facilitate this step, accelerate it, and avoid delays in intervention.”
• “We will guide the technician by displaying steps to follow in the technician’s field of vision.”

Speakers:

• Jérôme Colombain: Presenter
• Pierre-Olivier Jonery: Digital Twin Expert and Keynote Speaker

Summary:

The “GenGraph RCA” demo shows the importance of digital twins in network management, particularly during major incidents. Pierre-Olivier Jonery explains that the digital twin allows for the integration of various parts of a network, often segmented by domain (such as radio access and transmission), into a single end-to-end topology. This facilitates monitoring and data storage, enabling rapid problem analysis.

Traditionally, incident root cause analysis was a lengthy and static process, requiring manual correlation of various performance indicators (KPIs). With the use of analytical graph-based algorithms, the digital twin can isolate the root cause of a problem in seconds, whereas it previously could take up to seven hours. Furthermore, by integrating generative AI tools, it is possible to provide corrective action suggestions directly to operators.

Currently, this technology is still in the experimental phase, having been tested in a proof of concept with Orange Spain, specifically in the Pontevedra region, focusing on the radio access network and backhaul. The speakers highlight the enthusiasm among professionals at Orange for this promising tool.

Topics Covered:

• Network Failures: Challenges in identifying the causes of incidents.
• Digital Twin: An innovative tool for aggregating and analyzing network data.
• Root Cause Analysis: Transition from a static method to an automated and instantaneous approach.
• Experimentation with Orange Spain: Implementation of a proof of concept in a specific region.

Key Quotes from Pierre-Olivier Jonery:

“The digital twin will aggregate everything into a single unique graph, an end-to-end topology.”

“What used to take several hours can now be accomplished by an algorithm in a few seconds.”

“It allows for almost instantaneous understanding of the problem.” “This is an experimentation, a proof of concept that has been carried out with Orange Spain.”

This demonstration highlights technological advancements in network management and the growing importance of digital tools to enhance operational efficiency.
