DSL Forum Expands Scope and Adds TRs

The DSL Forum is expanding its scope to other broadband access technologies, including FTTP and FTTN fiber optic standards. Technical work is underway to address common CPE and architecture requirements for various types of access methods to deliver video, voice and data services. Interoperability and qualification work has also been expanded to address higher layer functions as well as the physical layer testing of ADSL2plus and the newly standardized VDSL2.

Michael Brusca, chairman and president of the DSL Forum, said: "We have built on our end to end architecture, broadening Layer 3 specifications that are applicable to FTTP and FTTN in addition to DSLAM based platforms. Our DSLHome work has been expanded to cover management of common CPE and devices for all types of wide area networks and consumer electronics networking requirements."

In a progress report following its annual meeting help recently in Vienna, The DSL Forum also announced that nine new Technical Reports (TR) were completed in 2005.

-MCM Specific Managed Objects in VDSL Network Element
-Operations & Network Mgmt
-DSLHome Applying TR-069 to Remote Management of Home Networking Devices
-Service Interface Requirements for TR-058 Architectures
-DSLHome TR-064 Extensions for Service Differentiation
-DSLHome Reference Models for VoIP Configurations in the DSL Home
-DSLHome Data Model Template for TR-069 Enabled Devices
-DSLHome Provisioning Parameters for VoIP CPE
-DSLHome Gateway Device Version 1.1 Data Model for TR-069
-Multi-Service Delivery Framework for Home Networks
-Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) Requirements Document
-Protocol Independent Object Model for Managing Next Generation ADSL Technologies
-SCM Specific Managed Objects In VDSL Network Element
-CPE WAN Mgmt Protocol
-Base Requirements for an ADSL Modem with Routing

The Impending GenAI Security Debt

Organizations that were experimenting with Applied-AI in isolated pilot programs just two years ago are now embedding it into core workflows, customer-facing products, and business-critical infrastructure. But as technology matures, a troubling pattern is emerging: speed of deployment is consistently outpacing the security discipline required to protect it. A new Gartner market study exposes the risk that many technology leaders have instinctively sensed but struggled to quantify. GenAI Security Market Development By 2028, 25 percent of all enterprise generative AI (GenAI) applications will experience at least five minor security incidents per year, that's up from just 9 percent in 2025. That represents nearly a threefold increase in less than three years, and the trend does not stop there. Gartner further projects that by 2029, 15 percent of all enterprise GenAI apps will experience at least one major security incident per year, compared to only 3 percent in 2025. Meanwhile, the d...
