Grab your tinfoil hat and a champagne cocktail, snuggle up in front of a warm fireplace, and check out our five security predictions for 2020.

In its most recent quarter VMware saw hybrid cloud and SaaS representing more than 13% of its total revenue — a 40% increase compared to last year.

Shape boasts that it protects more accounts from fraud than everyone else combined.

These chips, designed for cloud and edge computing, use TSMC’s 7nm technology and have 80 cores.

Google Cloud made some big moves in 2019, but will they be enough to best top-ranked Amazon and Microsoft and win the cloud wars?

Host-based segmentation is more effective at protecting data centers and clouds against lateral data breaches, the vendor says.

The chipmaker issued a patch for the vulnerability, which could allow attackers to change information stored on the chip’s secure enclave.

Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud pledged to jointly develop a new multi-cloud security framework.

Exablaze’s field programmable gate array-based devices play into Cisco’s intent-based networking strategy.

Samsung will provide massive MIMO and dual-band base stations to support the operator’s 4G LTE frequencies as well as 5G gear for both 3.5GHz and 28GHz spectrum.

DENT will use the Linux Kernel and other Linux-based projects as the basis for the open source NOS.

This includes a custom-built CPU scheduler and performance-aware live migration to make better use of hardware resources.

Silicon One is a programmable silicon architecture that the vendor claims can serve anywhere in the network and be used in any form factor.

IBM Cloud Identity now uses adaptive access capabilities to continually assess employee or consumer user risk levels when accessing applications and services.

The new container security technology allows customers to apply consistent security policies across all cloud IaaS workloads, McAfee says.

Aviatrix CEO Steve Mullaney says using SD-WAN to connect branch offices to the cloud misses the boat. “SD-WAN is dead. I mean, it’s over.”

The legacy network and endpoint security vendor acquired key pieces of cloud-native technology used in its Cloud Optix security platform when it bought Avid Secure.

“We think of the whole AWS Outposts initiative as very complementary to everything we’re doing,” said CenturyLink’s Dave Shacochis.

McAfee also teased a yet-to-be-released microsegmentation technology to secure contianer runtimes called NanoSegmentation.

It’s a fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks built with AWS-designed hardware that can run compute and storage on premises.

It uses AWS’ new edge computing service called Wavelength to allow developers to deploy ultra-low latency applications to mobile devices using 5G networks.

The vendor says its hybrid-cloud approach differs from its competitors because it doesn’t create a “walled garden.”

The integrated product combines AWS, Intel, and Adlink software and services to automate edge computing processes for industrial use cases.

The company today said it hired Raj Yavatkar as the new CTO. Like Koley, Yavatkar previously headed cloud networking at Google.
