Zero trust is non-negotiable; SASE isn't enough to keep threat actors at bay; and T-Mobile shared strong mid-band 5G performance metrics.

Aqua Security acquired Argon Security; Liquid raised $100 million in Series C funding; and Equinix acquired MainOne.

“Interest in zero trust has exploded due to the numerous high-profile security attacks in the recent past," analyst Mauricio Sanchez said.

Zscaler extended its zero-trust security to public cloud workloads; Intel Labs established a new research center; and Liqid raised $100M.

The new cloud-delivered service extends Zscaler’s secure internet and web gateway and its private app segmentation service to public cloud workloads.

Organizations that claimed to have mature implementations of zero trust and SASE were 35% more likely to report strong security operations.

"It seems appropriate that as we were getting people moving from Palo Alto [Networks], that the appropriate place for them to move was Oahu," Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said.

Qualcomm articulated a strategy to push its chipset platform into IoT; Fortinet integrated its SD-WAN with Azure vWAN; and Arista expanded its X-series switch family.

Embracing zero trust means ending the game of software-threat whack-a-mole, Palo Alto Networks' founder and CTO Nir Zuk said.

CEO Martin Roesch named Vectra AI, Darktrace, and ExtraHop as Netography’s competitors.

Gartner named the top firewall providers; Verizon and AT&T delayed the launch of 5G on C-band spectrum; and AMD released its Milan-X CPUs and Instinct MI200 AI accelerators.

“It becomes very important to have complete or comprehensive zero trust across the enterprise,” Palo Alto Networks CPO Lee Klarich said.

Verizon plans to offer Fortinet’s SD-WAN platform; AMD reported $4.3B in Q3 revenue; and the Linkerd 2.11 update extends zero-trust security to Kubernetes environments.

This is a "milestone" for the platform as "now you can use Linkerd to control which types of communication are available or are possible on your cluster,” CEO William

Cisco released its most powerful routing silicon; Devo raised $250 million; and VMware plans to roll a RIC into its Telco Cloud Platform.
