Lessons from the State-Sponsored Siege on Core Telecom Infrastructure#
AusNOG 2026 digest Program Core pick 3–4 September 2026
Taylor Reed - Palo Alto Unit 42
- Why: State-sponsored targeting of core telecom infrastructure is the current frontier of the PM's network security interest, and Unit 42 threat intelligence is usually substantive.
- What: No abstract, slides, or recording are published for this session — only the title and speaker are available, so the content cannot be assessed. From the title alone, it presumably covers threat intelligence on nation-state actors targeting core telecom/ISP infrastructure, in the vein of the recent wave of edge-router and telco-core compromises.
- How: Unknown — no materials available.
- Where applicable: Unknown. Flagged as a gap in the published program; worth seeking the speaker's materials or a Unit 42 publication on the topic if the subject matters to you (it should, given this program's AARNet talk names it as context).
