In addition to routing, next-generation firewall, and SD-WAN capabilities, the FortiGate 80F boasts integrated WiFi and a power-over-Ethernet switch.

Forcepoint's SASE offering embraces a data-centric philosophy that aims to protect data where users are accessing it.

Fortinet says it’s been doing SASE before Gartner coined the buzzy phrase. “That’s something we term security-driven networking,” CMO John Maddison said.

“Customers want simplicity, scalability, and flexibility, and moving services to the edge gives them all of that at low latency,” Juniper’s Samantha Madrid said.

“It’s a hot market, we have a hot product, and that automatically makes the company valuable,” said Bitglass CTO and co-founder Anurag Kahol.

Cisco rolled out its SASE ambitions; Verizon teased its forthcoming DSS launch for nationwide 5G; and cryptominers attacked Azure.

The announcement comes as millions of Americans enter their fourth-consecutive month of working from home, and IT teams scramble to secure a growing perimeter.

GCP also announced it had pushed 15,000 nodes per cluster in its Kubernetes Engine platform.

Illumio Edge is managed in the cloud and uses a lightweight agent on endpoints — either an Illumio agent or customers can use an existing CrowdStrike Falcon agent.

Cisco raised eyebrows with its seemingly endless appetite for smaller companies; Nokia fried French jobs; and Microsoft acquired CyberX.

Cisco’s Chief Strategy Officer Anuj Kapur hinted at future merger and acquisition targets to satisfy the tech giant’s seemingly endless appetite for smaller companies.

The acquisition comes a month after Zscaler reached a deal to buy Cloudneeti, a cloud security posture management company.

SASE represents an opportunity to put more of Cisco's networking and security services in the cloud, Cisco SVP Jeff Reed said in an exclusive interview with SDxCentral.

The new feature lets application teams build software-defined perimeters around individual application instances.

“My advice to companies right now is to really think about what will happen next,” said Fortinet VP and Global Field CISO Jonathan Nguyen-Duy.

Meanwhile the company only increased its virtual private network capacity 1.5 times to support all of its employees now working from home.

Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone Germany embraced 5G DSS; Edgewise Networks CEO shared security-related consequences of COVID-19; and AT&T topped managed SD-WAN ranking.

Edgewise Networks CEO Peter Smith discusses the rapid shift to remote work because of COVID-19 and how zero-trust security can help.

Google brought BeyondCorp zero-trust security to the masses; Alibaba injected $28B into the cloud; and Rackspace readied its $10B IPO.

Google had originally planned to release the product later this year. But then the COVID-19 pandemic drastically increased demand for remote worker security.

The vendor today added secure web gateways to its security platform as it moves toward a SASE architecture for delivering security at the edge.

“Edge compute is like a private data center but worse, like way worse,” NetFoundry CEO Galeal Zino said.

“We believe there is a space race right now for SASE,” CEO Amit Bareket said. “Perimeter 81 is positioned very strongly to win it.”

The update includes new branch hardware with built-in cellular capabilities, improved security features, and an SD-WAN orchestrator.
