VMware boosted its cloud-native security capabilities at VMworld with a new API security product and posture management services across Kubernetes clusters.

“We’re hopeful that it will help shape the industry’s thinking about what does it mean to be a trusted provider,” Cisco’s Chief Privacy Officer Harvey Jang said.

Usually, developers and security teams need to use two sets of policies — and two different languages — to secure both infrastructure as code and cloud runtime environments.

“Well, I think the big winner is Michael [Dell],” analyst Zeus Kerravala said. “It’s not like he needs more money, but he stands to make a boatload of money.”

“Our customers file one-third the frequency of claims compared to the U.S. cyber insurance market average,” CEO Joshua Motta said. “And that’s because we’re proactively helping protect them.”

There’s more work to do and dollars to spend to shore up our collective security posture.

“We are thrilled that Shaila will be the first woman to run Cisco’s security business in an industry that needs far more talent like her,” EVP Jeetu Patel wrote

Cisco’s security business only grew 1% compared to a year ago, and that represents much slower growth compared to its competitors like Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet.

“It’s outrageous that the world’s largest cybersecurity vendor ... believes that its users aren’t entitled to share any benchmark or performance comparison of its products,” Orca Security CEO Avi

“Neosec is like an XDR for APIs, or a CrowdStrike for application security,” said CEO Giora Engel, who sold his previous startup LightCyber to Palo Alto Networks for $105

The agency “strongly encourages” all of the cloud database customers to roll and regenerate their certificate keys and review Microsoft’s guidance on securing data.

Zscaler has the largest ZTNA market presence, according to Forrester, and it is also the only vendor that doesn’t have any “needs improvement” areas on its scorecard.

Wiz, a newly minted cybersecurity unicorn founded by the team that built Microsoft Azure’s cloud security stack, disclosed the “unprecedented breach.”

The biggest subscription and SaaS revenue boosts came from VMware’s multi-cloud offerings including VMware Cloud on AWS, which grew almost 80% year over year.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said his company will spend $20 billion over the next five years to advance its own security products and services.

The 3.0 product integrates data from Kubernetes environments, cloud hosts, traffic logs, audit logs, Prisma Cloud, and third-parties with non-cloud endpoint and network data sources.

The move comes a year after AWS rolled out its first round of sixth-generation EC2 instances, which were powered by AWS-designed Graviton2 processors.
