Microsoft liberally sprinkled references to the recent SolarWinds breach on its most recent updates, and also provided more insight into the wide-ranging attack.

Fortinet's CEO staked out SD-WAN domination; T-Mobile put the 5G screws to Verizon, AT&T: and RSA added AI threat hunting to NetWitness.

NetWitness Detect AI’s machine learning algorithms can detect insider threats, brute force authentication, and machine-operated activities.

Some 44% of organizations experienced at least one hardware-level or firmware attack over the past 12 months, and 16% have had more than one attack.

Political campaigns face particularly tough cybersecurity challenges because they essentially operate as large, distributed enterprises with thousands of employees.

“Every year on our birthday, we give back with a series of product announcements of things that we can do that make the internet as a whole better,” CEO

“Security really is something that needs to be built in and not bolted on,” Ericsson's Paul Challoner said.

A Microsoft survey found 58% of business leaders reported budget increases for cybersecurity because of the pandemic. And 82% plan to add security staff.

HPE swallowed Silver Peak to bolster its SD-WAN market position; VMware scored a Dish 5G deal; and Fortinet bought SASE startup Opaq.

Passwords aren’t user friendly or an effective form of security. So why do we still use them?

“The amount of ransomware campaigns right now is just unbelievable,” said AT&T Cybersecurity’s Jaime Blasco. “And two trends are enabling this.”

Perhaps the most alarming discovery to emerge from the study: one in five malicious attacks (19%) resulted from stolen or compromised credentials.

The security vulnerabilities could have allowed attackers to gain remote access and execute commands without proper authentication. Four were cited as “critical.”

The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance alone has more than 1 million deployments globally.

Anthos customers can now run Google-managed workloads inside of AWS. Azure support remains a work in progress.

The U.K. government is requiring operators to limit the use of Huawei equipment in the core of 5G networks due to security concerns.

When an incident occurs, enterprises typically rely on their on-site security operations centers to stop the threat. But what happens when the SOC analysts are remote?

All of these bugs require some form of authentication, which makes them more difficult to exploit. But they are noteworthy because of the sheer number of companies that use

The bug was in its authentication policy and allowed an attacker unauthorized access to information without needing an authorized token.

Misconfiguration, a widespread threat that requires a low level of sophistication, tops the list.

The ban basically limits the use of Huawei equipment to the network RAN, and even then to just 35% of a total 5G build.

In the past three weeks, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, and Citrix have announced a slew of vulnerabilities as the companies have scrambled to lock down their product lines.

The latest vulnerabilities are in the authentication mechanism and could allow an attacker to execute actions or privileges on a device.

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