The framework can reduce the attack surface, manage risks, and allow secure data-sharing for partnerships, the Department of Defense noted.

From job cuts, to a significant data breach, and the restructuring of some of its operating divisions, the networking giant had a busy 12 months.

AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud announced new security services, product upgrades, and acquisitions in 2022.

The quantum computing market surged in 2022, with valuations now forecast to reach $5 billion by 2025.

The cloud giant made the biggest fiscal splash with a whopping $5.4 billion deal to buy security powerhouse Mandiant.

CEO Nikesh Arora claims the common theme for its acquisitions is to buy a leader.

Security vendors have upgraded their attack surface management services, including Palo Alto Networks and Microsoft.

SVP Ankur Shah called this addition “a significant shift-left enhancement,” with Prisma Cloud now scanning all files.

Nikesh Arora believes most companies that have less than $10 billion in revenue should not have their own data centers.

The service brings together Google Cloud’s BeyondCorp Enterprise and Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Access platforms.

“We give defenders the ability not only to see their exposures instantly but also to shut them down automatically,” CTO of Cortex Matt Kraning said.

Cradlepoint plans to continue enhancing its security capabilities throughout next year, Camille Campbell said.

CEO Karim Toubba noted the threat actor was able to gain access to “certain elements” of its customers’ information.

The two governments have recognized the potential of quantum technology to address some of the most pressing scientific problems.

The AWS Verified Access looks to replace VPNs that organizations typically use to secure remote access.

Amazon Security Lake centralizes and manages log and event data from AWS, more than 50 third-party, and customer data sources.

The U.S. Department of Defense outlined four strategic goals to achieve department-wide zero-trust implementation for the next five years.

Intel announced a major step toward fabricating quantum chips on its transistor manufacturing processes in October.

The vendor also announced its plans to acquire Cider Security for around $195 million in cash.

The Cider Security acquisition is reportedly worth $3 million; the DoD partnership "is one of the largest software deals in Palo Alto Networks’ history," CEO Nikesh Arora said.

The new set of firewalls are for small and large branches, campus locations, and data centers.

Starting as an internal tool, Microsoft has been using the estimator to shape its quantum machine design.

The package is to “provide scalable and cost-effective learning and early experimentation for customers in the world of quantum," VP Ken Durazzo said.

The IBM Osprey more than tripled the qubit count of its predecessor — the 127-qubit Eagle processor, launched in 2021.
