Cisco warns the "critical" security flaws could be used to gain root access or trigger a denial of service attack.

The forecast comes on the heels of a record $54.1 billion spent on the cybersecurity space in 2020, which unfortunately also witnessed some of the largest security breaches to

VMware CEO Gelsinger jumped to Intel; Rakuten Mobile employee swiped SoftBank 5G tech; and Oracle's converged cloud database got 200 updates.

The vendor claims that Armis Asset Management can see about five-times more assets compared to standalone endpoint detection and response and configuration and vulnerability management tools.

The conditions under which a security key using an effected chipset could be cloned are akin to something seen in a Mission Impossible film.

“We’re bullish on gaining market share in a $10-billion-plus [total available market] that’s growing faster than any other segment of the security markets,” Lacework CEO Dan Hubbard said.

Fortinet extended free security training; SolarWinds was sued over Russian hack; and Cisco touted SD-WAN for home workers.

A SolarWinds investor filed a class-action lawsuit against the software vendor alleging that its executives failed to disclose security vulnerabilities that led up to the massive attack.

“While we have identified limited instances of the vulnerable SolarWinds Orion software in our own internal environment, our own internal investigation has not revealed any indication of exploitation,” VMware

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.

The update also signals the beginning of the end of support for the Dockershim container runtime interface for Docker, which drew considerable attention to mitigate.

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

In its advisory, the U.S. National Security Agency urged organizations to patch affected systems “as soon as possible.”

Silver Peak SD-WAN gained a boost from Aruba's ClearPass; T-Mobile touted a 5G lead; and a Cisco VPN bug avoided capture.

While Cisco says it isn’t aware of any instances in which attackers have exploited the vulnerability, a proof-of-concept exploit code is available.

“We need to rethink application security into what call cloud-native application security,” Snyk co-founder and President Guy Podjarny said.

“We have to acknowledge what’s happening right now around the globe where nation-state actors are using intelligence services to attack private-sector companies,” William Evanina said.

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

“The threat actors aren’t solely after the modification of votes,” said Cisco Talos’ Matt Olney. “They’re after the collective faith in the electoral process and in Western democracy in

AT&T has committed to be carbon neutral by 2035, and is expanding its Climate Change Analysis Tool coverage across the U.S. to build resilience.

Microsoft warned of election attacks; VMware aspires to join cool kids Kubernetes klique; and Ericsson sound the open RAN security alarm.

Researchers at Positive Technologies discovered the firewall vulnerabilities.

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 pandemic fueled a cybersecurity push; Fortinet claimed SASE superiority; and Cisco squashed a critical WAN software bug.
