As enterprises navigate increasingly complex hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments, they need trusted, standardized solutions to drive automation, agility, and security. Mplify provides a strategic partnership for enterprise IT leaders to collaborate with industry leaders, influence our work, and confidently adopt new technologies, streamline operations, and lead digital transformation initiatives.
Backed by our global ecosystem of service providers, technology companies, and systems integrators, Mplify delivers standards-based APIs, certifications, and peer collaboration that enable enterprises to deploy secure, resilient, and automated network services aligned with their business goals.
Mplify is a global alliance of network, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise organizations working together to accelerate the AI-powered digital economy through standardization, automation, certification, and collaboration.
We invite senior executives from mid-to-large enterprises to join our Enterprise Leadership Council (ELC) to work side-by-side with our Board members and the Technology Advisory Board (TAB).
Through the ELC, these executives work directly with us to shape priorities and deliver impactful outcomes—from cybersecurity-alerting standards to advanced service-performance APIs.
The CIM Service API automates real-time notifications of network impairments and maintenance activities—replacing today’s slow, manual communications between enterprise IT teams and service providers.
Developed in collaboration with the Enterprise Leadership Council, CIM is part of Mplify’s offering of Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) automation APIs that empower enterprise systems to interact directly with service provider networks—enhancing resiliency, visibility, and decision-making across your infrastructure.
CIM is designed for seamless integration into existing network-management systems and can be specified in RFPs and RFIs.
CIM Service API offers:
In today’s threat landscape, real-time security intelligence sharing is critical. Mplify’s CSA Notifications Service enables standardized communication of security events between service providers (sellers) and enterprises (buyers).
By automating incident reporting and response, the CSA service helps enterprise security teams act faster and minimize potential disruption—a critical pillar of our support for SASE, Zero Trust, and SSE frameworks.
Using a standardized API interface, enterprises can:
Enterprises individually face the third largest economy of the world after those of the US and China—the cybercrime economy that is growing 15% each year. It was a $3 trillion industry in 2015 and will grow to a $10.5 trillion industry by 2025. The cybercrime economy already costs the real and productive global economy a trillion dollars in damages annually.
Enterprises also face a bewildering range of cybersecurity technology solutions that tackle different layers and areas of the cyberthreat landscape, as well as increasing demands for compliance from regulators, shareholders, and insurance companies while maintaining the performance of the critical business applications.
In response to these major challenges for enterprises worldwide, leading cybersecurity and application assurance technology providers have helped to develop and publish industry standards and drive a new, modular SASE Certification program. Together, these standards and certification program help enterprises maintain application performance and protect business and customer data in the constantly evolving worlds of cybercrime and cybersecurity.
SASE Certification = SD-WAN Certification + SSE Certification + Zero Trust Certification
While service provider buy- and sell-side partners are leading the adoption of standardized LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration) APIs, enterprises can also benefit by using these APIs to automate business and operational functions with their retail service providers.Enterprises can leverage LSO APIs to seamlessly integrate their internal automation systems and applications with service provider networks. This approach gives them greater control, flexibility, and visibility over their NaaS environments, while eliminating the need for proprietary APIs.
Multiple enterprises already are using LSO APIs to order Ethernet connectivity services and receive performance information from their provider. Adoption is expected to accelerate as more service providers introduce LSO APIs to enterprises in support of NaaS offerings and more enterprises discover the availability of LSO APIs to support digital transformation.
