Oracle has positioned its portfolio on “providing the brains of the 5G standalone architecture core network, specifically the major intelligent components that form the control plane,” the company's Andrew

Valuable outcomes are derived from multi-cloud, however it remains to be seen if wireless carriers will successfully blend these strengths in a cross-cloud fashion or operate them in effective

VMware also published new threat intelligence, which highlights the need for security teams to extend their detection and prevention capabilities beyond the firewall to cover East-West traffic, Gillis said.

There is no silver bullet for security in any context, and that applies to open RAN and cloud native technologies all the same.

I expect a handful of top trends and threats to dominate the discourse. And like just about everything else over the past 12 months, many of these have been

As remote workers return to the office, expect to see enterprise refocus on SD-WAN and SASE vendors that prioritize sensitive data discovery and monitoring as well as multi-edge applications.

SDxCentral sat down (virtually) with Kiersten Todt, a former cybersecurity advisor to President Obama and current managing director of the Cyber Readiness Institute.

“What networking was 10 years ago, we believe APIs will be for the next 10 years,” Data Theorem COO Doug Dooley said.

“The interesting thing about those attacks, is they’re exactly what I was warning my board about three and a half years ago,” Armis CISO Curtis Simpson said.

“We have the equipment that has been ordered now," Dish Network EVP Marc Rouanne said. “We have everything we need."

"Openness allows you to have visibility and it allows you to put your defense and your security where you see the threats might be coming,” Dish Network's Marc Rouanne

NEC is one of the earliest 5G core and RAN vendors to announce its commercial use of OpenShift, but many others are coming, Red Hat's Ian Hood said.

“We’re a pretty acquisitive company and so we are always looking for partners as the overall architecture disintermediates,” VMware's Sanjay Uppal said.

“The goal and the outcome are the same," Cisco SVP Jonathan Davidson said. "The key is we all want to get to open RAN."

“It’s very important that when you’re going after enterprises that you build segment knowledge," Nokia's Raghav Sahgal said.

“We’re trying to create a new architecture that simplifies the layers and enables a much more interoperable future that we’ve always had in IP that now we’re extending into

“One of our key objectives at Cloud and Network Services is to pivot our software to an as-a-service model,” said Raghav Sahgal, president of the Nokia's business unit.

“One thing that’s become very clear in our industry is the importance of chips, the importance of silicon when it comes to 5G,” Samsung's Alok Shah said.

Traceable’s technology would add a much-needed tool to a larger cloud security stack, and vendors including Cisco and VMware have said that application security ranks high on their list

The credit union first landed on VMware because it wanted to virtualize its IT environment. And then it realized the security benefits from VMware’s “unified ecosystem” approach, CIO Mark

Some mid-band 5G gear from incumbent RAN vendors will support virtualized or open RAN frameworks, but that doesn’t mean either system will become dominant in U.S. networks soon.

The massive supply-chain attack “validated our strategy that your network plays an active role in how you can secure it,” Juniper Networks VP Samantha Madrid said.

“We have not talked much about edge computing or cloud computing because we’ve been busy working with our customers" to solve real pain points, T-Mobile EVP John Saw said.

Is next-gen XDR already a thing? CrowdStrike and Trend Micro square off on this, because if the security industry has an acronym addiction, it also has a “next-gen” problem.
