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

ONAP Honolulu introduces more cloud native functionality, early support for end-to-end 5G network slicing, and deeper integration with open RAN standards.

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

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.

The Cloud Native Runtimes for Tanzu acts as a further abstraction layer on top of Tanzu’s core Kubernetes focus to more quickly get event-based cloud-native applications up and running

“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.
