Palo Alto's SOAR takes on ransomware risk; AT&T evolves its SASE model; and Cisco deals with COVID-19 related supply chain issues.

"My advice is that you start thinking about this new, evolving model as a mash-up of both zero trust and SASE," AT&T CSO Bill O'Hern said.

Red Hat strengthens DevSecOps teams; Microsoft announces a sustainable cloud offering; and IBM and AWS enter a collaboration agreement.

The “strategic collaboration agreement” will see IBM and Amazon Web Services invest in making it easier for enterprises to sign up for and run IBM software

The cloud service specifically addresses transparency throughout the supply chain from raw materials to distribution, according to Microsoft.

Ericsson and Intel team to tout cloud native; skill gaps compromise Kubernetes security; and Google updates its cloud security portfolio.

The updates come on the back of a handful of recent acquisitions by the cloud giant in the security space.

"The one thing that people ... are really nervous about, i.e. security and compliance, very few have a good understanding of," Weaveworks CEO Alexis Richardson said.

The research center showcases Ericsson’s Cloud RAN platform on Intel technology for operators and hyperscalers.

Cisco shares a cloud controls framework; telcos say sustainability is a challenging priority; and a C++ phaseout aims to secure open source.

“Our customers are asking for managed secure access service edge, cloud, and threat detection and response capabilities,” Palo Alto Networks' Prem Iyer said.

“Customer demand for global software-as-a-service (SaaS) security certifications is ever-increasing, as are the security risks we face,” Cisco's Prasant Vadlamudi said.

Public cloud spending will near $500 billion; Gartner predicts global IT spend trends; and Goldman Sachs invested $125 million in Fortress.

Red Hat doubles down on edge security; Cisco aims for advanced API observability; and Intel's net-zero promise falls short.

“It's really important to build a resilient company,” CEO Rami Rahim said, adding that resilience comes with diversity in business.
