The new investment makes Netskope one of the world’s most valuable private tech companies, and more than doubled the cybersecurity unicorn’s valuation from 18 months ago.

Google plans to activate 15 edge zones across the U.S.; HPE acquired Ampool; and analysts at MWC Barcelona say 5G hasn't lived up to its promise.

Nokia ended 2020 with a 17% share of the market on $758 million in related revenue, followed by Huawei with a 12% market share on $544 million in revenue.

Google said it intends to activate at least 15 zones across major U.S. cities during the next few years

Ericsson’s private 5G offering now comes in basic and customizable options; 5G service pushes center on AI and security; and MWC's top three mobile threat takeaways.

“There is hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into this illicit marketplace right now and, unfortunately, things are gonna get worse,” Cisco Talos threat researcher Nick Biasini said.

Two years after launching its MEF 3.0 SD-WAN certifications, the industry trade group has its sights set on squashing service provider pain points.

Thomas Noren, head of Ericsson’s dedicated networks business, described Ericsson Private 5G as “a scaled down version of a mobile network” that can be integrated with enterprise IT systems.

Deutsche Telekom activated its “O-RAN Town;” Cisco closed its Kenna Security acquisition; and June’s hirings, firings, and retirings shook up industry exec teams.

Software security alone is no longer sufficient to protect users from cyberthreats, but silicon can help, Intel's Mike Nordquist said.

Intel appointed Greg Lavender as CTO; Exabeam's valuation increased to $2.4 billion after hiring a new CEO; and StackPath appointed Keith Wilson as CFO.

Only about 3% to 5% of an organizations’ vulnerabilities are actually susceptible to an attack, Kenna CEO Karim Toubba said: “The name of the game is precision.”

Deutsche Telekom kicked off the event by activating its “O-RAN Town” in Neubrandenburg, Germany, with sites supporting massive multiple-input, multiple-output technology.

AT&T sold its Network Cloud technology to Microsoft; Intel delayed its next-gen data center chips; and the Ransomware Task Force received a $450,000 donation.

Despite the delay, Intel will still beat rival AMD to PCIe Gen 5.0, CXL, and DDR5 Memory when Sapphire Rapids launches in the first quarter of 2022.

IBM added Kestrel to the Open Cybersecurity Alliance; Nvidia and Google opened a 5G AI lab to unveil a new supercomputer; and AWS' incoming CEO made his debut at

The underlying trend and realization AT&T confronted is clear: mobile network operators, no matter how invested and talented in cloud computing, are no match for the might of hyperscalers.

SD-WAN and SASE adoption exploded in the wake of the pandemic, and today's funding round throws fuel on the fire, the company said.

"In this lab industrial companies, system integrators, and network operators will be able to develop and test their AI-on-5G enterprise applications,” Nvidia's Ronnie Vasishta said.

5G and SASE can help managed service providers drive revenues; European telecom CEOs kicked off MWC Barcelona; and “tectonic forces” are shaping the future of telecom.

Ericsson, like Nokia, expanded its partnership with Google Cloud after previous activities involving network operators’ migration to cloud-native, container-based services.

“Security is the mask on your face. That’s security. And immunity is the vaccination,” the self-described “anti-virus guy” said, likening COVID-19 to cyber.

“The digital world has wiped away the old rules of the analog world,” Telefónica CEO José María Álvarez-Pallete López said.

Palo Alto Networks believes a combination of 5G network slicing and SASE will drive service provider revenues and address a rapidly changing threat landscape.
