Nvidia and Lenovo also announced a collaboration promoting VMware's Project Monterey.

NEC and Juniper Networks partner to simplify 5G transport; telco vendors earned $110.4B in the first half of 2021; and Cisco published a framework for assessing an organization’s trustworthiness.

The platform will boost deployments of converged, packet-optical networks, Juniper's Jim Benson said.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are relatively recent additions to the world of algorithms and they offer new promises for operators.

"Finding the right, highly technical, hands-on leader that can build a scalable organization whose foundation is built on software skills has been one of my biggest personal challenges in

Going public “will give us the opportunity to invest more in our products and technology, or go to market,” ForgeRock CEO Fran Rosch said.

“We’re now entering the second wave of digital transformation, which is the transformation of OT,” Wind River CEO Kevin Dallas said.

Synopsys uses AI to design faster chips using fewer resources; Forrester said Zscaler has the largest ZTNA market presence; and Cradlepoint added 5G modems to its routers.

The company's DSO.ai software platforms uses AI to design and test faster, more efficient chips in less time and with fewer resources.

“Customers have generally been accepting of the price increases, given there is inflation in the environment broadly in many different commodities and areas,” Dell CFO Tom Sweet said.

Samsung plans to spend $205 billion to bolster its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, while rival TSMC reportedly increased chip prices 20%.

The chip boasts 40% higher performance than IBM's previous generation Z15 mainframe processor and packs six teraFLOPS of AI inference performance.

The 5G testbed's initial focus is on asset monitoring and optimization, field worker productivity and safety, and visual inspection.

The carrier also launched its 5G Edge Discovery Service that scopes out the optimal mobile edge compute location for any Verizon mobile client.

“Some of the key features offered are continuous discovery and inventory of APIs, ML-powered API and web protection, and real-time API vulnerability detection,” Traceable CMO Ashish Kuthiali said.

“We always, in telecom, put ourselves into this constraint that if you go outside of a predefined box you’re taking risks that are not acceptable," Rakuten Mobile CTO Tareq

The bottom line is that the companies that adopted some level of zero trust are in a better position to deal with data breaches, IBM Security's Limor Kessem said.

Illumio updated its segmentation platform with new zero-trust automation features; Xilinx’s Versal adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP) got a high-bandwidth memory (HBM) upgrade; and executives at AT&T and Cisco

“People need small, incremental wins on that journey of building zero trust into their environment,” Illumio CTO and co-founder PJ Kirner said.

Ericsson’s private 5G offering now comes in basic and customizable options; 5G service pushes center on AI and security; and MWC's top three mobile threat takeaways.

Only about 3% to 5% of an organizations’ vulnerabilities are actually susceptible to an attack, Kenna CEO Karim Toubba said: “The name of the game is precision.”

IBM added Kestrel to the Open Cybersecurity Alliance; Nvidia and Google opened a 5G AI lab to unveil a new supercomputer; and AWS' incoming CEO made his debut at

"In this lab industrial companies, system integrators, and network operators will be able to develop and test their AI-on-5G enterprise applications,” Nvidia's Ronnie Vasishta said.

The company also announced a series of rugged and value-focused switches and added IoT monitoring capabilities to its Aruba Central management platform.
