ACE your network defence: a DDoS security masterclass
Join our Nokia Deepfield Emergency Response Team (ERT) for an in-depth DDoS security masterclass tailored for network engineers. In this session, we'll cover the latest trends in the DDoS threat landscape — from short volumetric floods and carpet-bombing attacks to sophisticated application-layer assaults leveraging botnets and proxy services. And our experts will provide real-world demos that highlight the latest enhancements added to our Deepfield Defender solution to provide even faster automatic detection and mitigation of multiple, simultaneous carpet-bomb attacks and other sophisticated attacks within seconds.
Key highlights include:
- Network-based mitigation: Learn how Deepfield Defender can automatically protect your network and customers by quickly and surgically activating DDoS filtering capabilities already built in the 7750 SR.
- ACE-Powered DMS: See how the newly introduced Advanced Countermeasures Engine (ACE) enhances the 7750 Defender Mitigation System, delivering rapid and precise countermeasures against a wide range of DDoS attack vectors.
- Live demos & expert Q&A: Engage with our security experts during live demonstrations and Q&A sessions, where you can dive deep into technical details and best practices for protecting your network.
- Whether you're helping to protect enterprise infrastructure or critical service networks, this masterclass offers useful insights and hands-on strategies to keep your systems secure against the latest DDoS threats.

Networking evening event
10 minutes by coach from PortAventura lies the beautiful estate L’Orangerie de Clos Barenys. The venue is surrounded by its own winery, located right on the Via Augusta, where the Romans, 2000 years ago, already enjoyed the charms of the Mediterranean: gastronomy, wine, and celebration. Nature, gifts of our land, pure air and beauty.
With many different areas to entertain, this transformative space is prefect to celebrate 20 years of SReXperts. Join us for an evening that promises to be full of camaraderie, laughter, and memorable moments.

Hackathon
SReXperts 2025 will bring Nokia’s Network Operating Systems (SR OS & SR Linux), the Network Services Platform (NSP) and the Event Driven Automation (EDA) platform into a combined hands-on automation and programmability learning experience for attendees of all abilities.
Join us for a full day of hands-on creativity. The 2025 SReXperts will follow the familiar format of the previous years providing a friendly, hands-on, event with plenty of support, whatever your automation and programmability area of interest.
There will be three morning “primer” sessions, split between three streams: Network Operating Systems (NOS), Network Services Platform (NSP) and Event Driven Automation (EDA). Each primer session is an instructor-led training session and will equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to address a topic of their choosing in the afternoon. The three simultaneously-run, 3-hour (including a 30 minute break) knowledge primer sessions in the morning are designed to prepare participants for the afternoon hands-on session.
In the afternoon participants from the three streams will come together to tackle practical hands-on problems from a range of curated topic areas designed to introduce, enhance or challenge the participant no matter their prior experience. The afternoon Hackathon will last for 4 hours (including a 30 minute break and an interactive quiz).
More details on each individual session can be found in the agenda section of this website.
Registration for the hackathon is available during the event registration. If you have already registered and wish to add this to your personal agenda, simply log back into your registration to amend your selection. Alternatively, you may also add this to your personal agenda via our event mobile app available for download in early May.
