VMware plans to ‘pave the earth with Tanzu;’ AWS, Oracle battled for the database management crown; and Microsoft security execs scored $100 million.

The founding team built the cloud security stack for Azure and also sold an earlier startup, cloud access security broker Adallom, to Microsoft for $320 million.

Ericsson slapped Samsung with a patent lawsuit; AWS stuffed Cisco SD-WAN into VPC; and Orca scored a $55 million Series B funding round.

As a sign of success against the larger security vendor, Orca CEO Avi Shua pointed to Palo Alto Networks using legal threats and demanding Orca take down a product

“Network security is not really very meaningful,” CEO Jay Chaudhry said. “We decouple network access and application access with zero trust.”

Kubernetes complexity continued to challenge lock-In concerns; AWS added a network firewall; and T-Mobile's Ray knocked mmWave, open RAN.

While AWS is partnering with traditional firewall providers such as Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet on its AWS Network Firewall, it also competes against these vendors.

Cloud-based secure access service edge platforms aren't a perfect fit for every enterprise, Cisco's Ravi Chandrasekaran said.

Aruba bumped Cisco from the Pentagon; AMD bagged Xilinx for $35B; and Juniper paid $450 million to buy 128 Technology.

The security vendor will also host its virtual Fal.Con this week, and more than 20,000 people registered to attend the event.

The new modules include identity-based microsegmentation from Palo Alto Networks’ $150 million Aporeto acquisition.

The security vendor has reportedly been mulling either a return to the public markets or a sale for more than a year.

The lightweight agent actively monitors users for suspicious or malicious behavior and applies policies accordingly.

Underneath that Defender brand will sit Microsoft 365 Defender for end-user environments and Azure Defender for cloud and hybrid infrastructure.

AT&T taps Microsoft Azure for security; Cisco boosts Microsoft's on-ramps; and Intel looks to the edge.

Chronicle, the security startup that spun off and then later re-merged with Google Cloud, today rolled out a threat detection tool called Detect.

Nvidia took Arm off Softbanks' hands in $40 billion deal; Oracle shared it's KISS cloud strategy; and Dish tapped Nokia for 5G SA core.

This mirrors Oracle’s broader strategy to win public cloud customers by touting its “second-generation” infrastructure with built-in security that costs less than competitors — notably Amazon Web Services.

Do we really need yet another threat-sharing ecosystem? Netskope says the short answer is yes, and what it offers is different.

Verizon, Intel blazed a virtualized trail with Samsung, Intel, and Wind River; HPE beat Q3 expectations; and Cisco, Cohesity HCI got even cozier

Building a SASE requires expertise in networking and cloud-based security. Buying one can be prohibitively expensive, but that hasn't stopped some vendors from doing just that.

The vendors will integrate Snyk’s open source vulnerability detection into Trend Micro’s cloud security platform to help security operations teams better manage open source risk.

The vendor is breaking from the norm and building security into every component of its SASE offering.

It’s part of a new product called Megaport Virtual Edge that hosts NFVs — such as Cisco SD-WAN — on Megaport’s global SDN platform.
