The certifications on Cisco Viptela vEdge 1000, vEdge 2000 and Edge 1000 SD-WAN hardware expired, leaving customers with network downtime.

The vendor described Nutanix Central as a cloud-delivered service management model designed for federated endpoints.

Fortinet CFO Keith Jensen said the vendor is well positioned to capitalize on the expansion of firewall deployments that is expected to continue.

Palmer’s history at Verizon dates back to its founding in late 2000, having previously served in leadership roles at Bell Atlantic.

Cradlepoint acquired Ericom Software; DT regained a controlling stake in T-Mobile US; and cloud service spending is set to soar.

Verizon named a former HP exec to head its Americas operations; T-Mobile US had a leadership shake up; and Red Hat announced job cuts.

VMware reorganized a key business group; a report found Cisco losing telecom share; and AMD updated SDxCentral on its Pensando acquisition.

Multi-Edge computing (MEC) is key to harnessing valuable business opportunities, says Dell

“The unifying theme here is the idea that the network is now a business critical resource," said HPE Aruba VP Larry Lunetta.

Legacy network edge security isn't designed for hybrid work environments, NetWitness claims.

The addition of Versa Networks to the Lumen secure access service edge partner ecosystem was a "no brainer," said Lumen's Darren Wolner.

CEO Börje Ekholm told investors that the first quarter was “challenging” for the vendor due to “slower deployment pace in some early 5G markets."

Aryaka and Check Point first teamed up in 2020 to provide customers with the building blocks they need to adopt a secure access service edge model.

The vendor's zero-trust partners include Juniper Networks, Maryland Innovation Security Institute, Nvidia, Palo Alto Networks and VMware.

“The idea of fully replacing VPNs with zero-trust network access has been the utopian promise by industry vendors for years," said Netskope VP Naveen Palavalli.

“So far any approach to bringing zero trust onto the premise has really been an adjunct approach, a bolt-on approach,” CEO Kelly Ahuja said.

The applications also take advantage of a recent private network partnership extension with Kyndryl.

The vendor’s security service edge combined with Netskope Endpoint SD-WAN is a “[secure access service edge] for your laptop,” SVP Parag Thakore said.

“We have strengthened our position across security categories and have diligently invested in cybersecurity research,” HPE CEO Antonio Neri said.

Cradlepoint will integrate Ericom's platform to provide a 5G secure access service edge stack "in the near future,” said SVP Manish Tiwari.

The “platform-orientated” trend benefits large security companies like Fortinet, enabling them to capture more market share, CMO John Maddison said.

Jonathan Nikols previously served as global VP of services and solutions at Hewlett Packard.

HPE bought Athonet to pad its private network portfolio; Cisco acquired Valtix to expand its multi-cloud capabilities; and SAP sold Qualtrics.

“Small and medium-sized enterprises actually should be ideally positioned for secure access service adoption," Aryaka's Klaus Schwegler said.
