  TM Forum is the world’s leading industry association focused on enabling best-in-class IT for service providers in the communications, media, defense and cloud service markets. Their mission is to continually improve business effectiveness for their members.
  
  Network Critical sees an opportunity to support this group and its constituency by contributing to the development of best practices, policies and standards to improve network access technology. Apostolos Kallis, Senior Vice President agrees saying, “The TM Forum is very pleased to welcome Network Critical as a member. With their expertise in secure network access and aggregation solutions, we feel they will make a positive contribution to the work of the TM Forum and our industry.”
  
  With the proliferation of specialized monitoring and security appliances, access to network links is a challenge. Planning for network access needs to be considered early on within the framework of the overall security design. New policies and ideas must be developed to allow secure and efficient network access for these new appliances. Network Critical is looking forward to working within the forum workgroups to help drive innovation and cut costs for service provider and government member networks.
