Perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient, security surfaces and compute demands are ballooning, and so is network complexity, said Fortinet CEO Ken Xie.

Palo Alto Network’s product announcement coincided with its quarterly earnings report, which fell short of Wall Street’s expectations and sent its stock plunging.

Huawei security concerns ignited RSA panel discussion; Airline exec dished advice to security vendors at RSA; and Google pledged $10B into offices and data centers.

The expansion more than doubles the reach of the U.S.-based carrier's SD-WAN service compared to a year ago.

“We see a tremendous opportunity to create a multi-billion-dollar security company,” Poonen said. “And we have a starting point of a billion, so that’s a really good place to

The Facebook-backed consortium announced a string of new initiatives including the launch of its Evenstar remote radio unit and plans to develop disaggregated open routers.

Cisco SD-WAN targeted FedRAMP; Verizon warned of mobile security risks; and the Russians are coming for corporate networks.

Southwest Airlines’ Carrie Mills says CISOs want less agents, fewer point products, and more simplified security infrastructure.

The vendor's boldly named Project Maestro is now on the market under the more straight-laced VMware Telco Cloud Automation tag.

Once Russian state-sponsored groups compromise just one machine, they can move laterally to other systems on the network in a little under 19 minutes.

The networking giant needs FedRAMP authorization before it can begin deploying its SD-WAN offerings to government agencies.

One of the near-term goals is to make cryptography more robust and ready for a post-quantum computing landscape, said NTT Research CEO Kazuhiro Gomi.

McAfee plans to integrate Light Point Security’s browser isolation technology into its secure web gateway and SASE architecture.

“Part of the challenge that I have is taking all of these different technologies and tying them together into one consistent tapestry,” said CenturyLink CSO Chris Betz.

"Our vision is to create one common platform that runs any workload in VMs or containers across any footprint ... with the same experience across the board," said Red

The U.S. government’s quantum research budget, which addresses a national security issue, is $30 million, or just 0.0006% of the federal budget.

Nokia is striving to deliver a “truly cloud native” software stack that can run applications in containers with full lifecycle management and deliver microservices.

Mellanox, which is being acquired by Nvidia in a $6.9 billion deal, announced the pair of SmartNICs at VMworld last summer.

This contributes to what VMware calls “intrinsic security,” which is a theme that the virtualization giant has been leaning into since its concerted push into the security sector.

The appliance utilizes a "self-learning" deep neural network to automate rote security tasks to accelerate threat detection and remediation.

Cisco went all-in on cloud-native security with SecureX; AT&T joined Open Cybersecurity Alliance; and Intel doubled down on on 5G, edge, data center.

Cisco’s 2020 CISO Benchmark Study found that 28% of security professionals say that managing a multi-vendor environment is very challenging.

Intel had projected that it would be the leader in base station silicon by 2022, but is now claiming that it will achieve this a year early.

It’s also getting a little bit SASE with its secure SD-WAN, but executives say they’ll talk more about this technology later in the year.
