Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining first configuration information associated with a communications network, wherein the first configuration information is obtained responsive to a first provisioning request; applying the first configuration information to an AI process that utilizes an AI model that had been trained using first training data, wherein the AI process determines at least one first potential adverse effect that would be caused by implementing the first configuration information, and wherein the AI process further determines a first risk level associated with the at least one first potential adverse effect; receiving from the AI process the first risk level associated with the at least one first potential adverse effect; and outputting the first risk level. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating network configuration data for a network device according to device information of a vendor; providing the network configuration data to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis platform that applies an AI model to the network configuration data based at least in part on topology data resulting in a configuration analysis, wherein the configuration analysis evaluates the network configuration data and generates at least one of rating information, adjustment information or a combination thereof. The rating information can include a security rating, a risk rating and/or an efficiency rating. The adjustment information can include a recommendation for changing at least a portion of the network configuration data for the network device.
