Competition still exists between all the “key endpoint security vendors” and hyperscalers, Dell’Oro Group's Mauricio Sanchez said.

“SASE may no longer be the new kid on the block, but like any project, you should do ample planning and prepare a business case,” the vendor noted.

"The iPhone was new in its market – the smartphone – and created [that] market, and we are the same way," Vantiq CEO Marty Sprinzen said.

Telecom operators need to be very clear on how they want to partner with hyperscalers in addressing the network edge.

The components for zero trust edge include secure web gateway, SD-WAN, cloud access security broker, and zero-trust network access.

Dell’Oro Group predicts the telecom server market will hit $14 billion by 2026, with growth driven by multi-access edge computing servers.

One of the most critical considerations when choosing a firewall is application awareness, Fortinet's Aiden Walden said.

Despite Vantiq's use of the term, low-code "is a dumb acronym," CEO Marty Sprinzen said.

The distributed cloud service aims to bring "cloud-style experiences" to Equinix's metro data center locations, according to Equinix's Zachary Smith.

“Maybe it’s time. You say SD-WAN has been great, but it’s time, and you can make this switch,” AvidThink's Roy Chua said.

“I don’t think [hyperscalers] want to be operators, they just want operators to use their services,” AT&T's Igal Elbaz said.

Operators need to accelerate the deployment of 5G standalone core and network edge systems to “climb the value chain,” ABI's Reece Hayden said.

Dish Network Chairman Charlie Ergen previously stated that the full 5G network build could run Dish in the neighborhood of $10 billion.

The validation aligns interoperability between running Nokia’s Cloud RAN on the VMware Telco Cloud Platform.

Zero-trust network access allows enterprises to become "cloud-first, mobile friendly, to be able to have their applications accessible over the internet.”

Gartner named Cato Networks, Cisco, Citrix, Forcepoint, Fortinet, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Versa Networks, and VMware as market leaders.

CEO Pekka Lundmark said Nokia signed 30 customers to private wireless contracts during the quarter.

The vendor claims secure access service edge provides more visibility into and control over network security configurations.

The carrier’s 5G standalone core is built on its Verizon Cloud Platform.

CSO Bill O’Hern argues embedded network security offers more capabilities on top of secure access service edge.

Dell sees the edge as "the next frontier for our customers’ business transformation," said Sam Grocott, Dell Technologies SVP.

Palo Alto Networks' Matt De Vincentis defined security services edge as a “massively scalable cloud service across the globe.”

Versa Networks hosted the webinar focused on overcoming organizational challenges to pursue secure access service edge solutions.

The carrier looked at more than 1,800 different application partners to potentially include in the platform, Mishka Dehghan explained.
