Palo Alto Networks claimed XDR protected it from SolarWinds; Ex-CISA chief warned cybercriminals; and Google spurred a 5G initiative with Intel.

The service mesh platform is tied to linking cloud native network functions that run in edge deployments needed to support 5G use cases.

The company, which raised $151 million to date, plans to invest in growing its brand visibility and expanding the scope of its multi-cloud networking platform.

Integration, validation, and testing of network functions and use cases are among the biggest hurdles facing 5G operators.

Ericsson teased massive MIMO 5G; VMware lost another executive; and Kong tripled its valuation to $1.4 billion.

"We’re not going to be running in the first city. We’ll be crawling and then hopefully we’ll get up and be walking by the end of the year," Dish's

Shekar Ayyar, who is an EVP and GM for VMware’s Telco and Edge Cloud, is linking with the newly formed AdMY Technologies to invest in telecom, 5G, and edge

Kong raised $171 million through four funding rounds to bolster its universal service mesh, and tripled its valuation to $1.4 billion since its Series C.

The gear features the Swedish vendor’s next-generation custom silicon, which it now calls Ericsson Silicon.

Early 5G hype focused on mmWave because it can deliver gigabit-plus speeds, lower latency, and fantastical use cases, but the economics don’t bear out and are unlikely to until

The top White House cybersecurity official said the alleged Russian hackers compromised at least 100 companies, and President Joe Biden plans to take executive action in response.

Arista closed a strong Q4; Check Point moved into cloud-native app protection; and IBM, Linux Foundation expanded Call for Code for Racial Justice.

Coming out of a turbulent year, Arista is targeting revenues of $630 million to $650 million in the first quarter of 2021.

GSMA expressed its intent for in-person MWC events; Cisco scored deeper Verizon SD-WAN integrations; and CrowdStrike paid $400 million for Humio.

The spectrum bills likely awaiting Verizon and AT&T place even greater pressure on both operators to build 5G enterprise revenue.

The 5-year-old startup developed a data ingestion and analytics platform that CrowdStrike says will enable it to provide contextual index-free XDR.

Co-managed and fully-managed flavors of Cisco's popular Viptela and Meraki SD-WAN platforms have arrived on Verizon's network.

“Our view is it would be great if the world was vaccinated, but we can’t rely on that in 2021, so instead we’re relying on testing upfront to ensure

Arista and Microsoft validated optical pluggables; Databricks drove Google Cloud to the data lakehouse; and Cisco and Palo Alto Networks are eyeing an XDR and SASE fusion.

Technical and engineering complexities notwithstanding, virtualization, in an ironic twist, also requires operators to balance human involvement and adoption.

Extended detection and response and secure access service edge were two of the hottest security trends last year, and they don’t show any sign of slowing down in 2021.

Arista validated several 400 Gb/s optical pluggables on its 7800R3-series routers on Microsoft's open line system test bed.

Palo Alto Networks touted its SASE superiority; U.S. chip firms have called for subsidies; and Colt and ADVA tested quantum-secured encryption.

vRAN runs into a mosaic of technical limitations as it climbs into higher spectrum.
