"The partnership benefits Rubrik by providing access to the broad Azure ecosystem, and to Microsoft by extending their hybrid cloud presence," IDC's Phil Goodwin wrote.

Aqua Security acquired Argon; DevSecOps might finally take off; and Dish touted its repeatedly delayed wireless 5G deployment at AWS re:Invent.

Other than Aqua, only Palo Alto Networks can secure all components of the application, Aqua CEO Dror Davidoff said.

Trend Micro says it secures 2.5 trillion cloud events daily; Gartner find 18% of organizations use chaos engineering; and Aviatrix dips its toes into the security market.

The partnership comes as GTT Communications, confronted by a mountain of long-term debt, files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

While Trend Micro isn’t as flashy or loquacious as some of its competitors, the cloud security giant decided to use AWS re:Invent as an opportunity to humblebrag.

The consulting services aim to shore up cloud roadmaps, identify and eliminate misconfigurations, and jump-start AWS adoption.

Analysts are bewildered by Ericsson’s $6.2B acquisition; sponsorship matters for women in cybersecurity; and Red Hat plans to deploy SASE across telecom infrastructure.

Red Hat doesn’t want to compete with established SD-WAN and cloud security vendors. Instead, the company sees an opportunity to orchestrate SASE deployments.

“With every Yin, there is a Yang, and while IaC increases agility, any misconfiguration can cause a security risk,” analyst Zeus Kerravala said.

It’s the cybersecurity unicorn’s second record-setting investment in less than a year. In January, Lacework announced a $525 million funding round.

Qualcomm articulated a strategy to push its chipset platform into IoT; Fortinet integrated its SD-WAN with Azure vWAN; and Arista expanded its X-series switch family.

“In the event when you’re hunting down a threat, it can be a really long, cold winter between discovery and remediation if you lack visibility,” Cisco SVP Al Huger

Positive Technologies disclosed a vulnerability affecting Intel processor families; T-Mobile mid-band 5G covers 200M people; and Ericsson revealed an SMO platform.

Gartner recently coined CNAPP, and the cloud security sector has quickly rallied around this name and product category. Today Palo Alto Networks joined the CNAPP party.

VMware sees 5G boosting SD-WAN and SASE; Trend Micro provides an animal analogy for app development; and a Cisco report finds NaaS can offload complexity.

Build applications in the cloud like cattle, not pets, says Aaron Ansari, VP of cloud security at Trend Micro. He also strongly endorses ant relay races.

Pica8 raised $20 million in Series C funding; VMware remains a supporter of the O-RAN Alliance; and Telefónica expanded its relationship with Fortinet.

The telecom's latest managed service tackles hybrid work and cloud security through a combination of Fortinet's SD-WAN and secure access service edge products.

Google activated its cybersecurity A-team and touted its cloud progress; and Red Hat upped its Kubernetes edge game.

“Looking at our networking and data center investments alone, we have the largest network with the lowest latency of any cloud provider,” Google's Sundar Pichai said.

Hailo raised $136M in Series C funding; Google Cloud announced Google Distributed Cloud and new sustainability metrics tools.

“This new solution is a cloud-based security platform with security threat analytics, machine learning, and deep integrations through these third-party products,” AT&T Cybersecurity's Rakesh Shah said.

Gee Rittenhouse left Cisco; Secureworks appointed Wendy Thomas as CEO; and Arrcus appointed former VMware exec Shekar Ayyar as CEO and chairman.
