Adding three new members will expand the alliance’s telemetry sources across cloud (Cloudflare), IoT (Armis), and network (ThreatWarrior), CrowdStrike says.

NTT announced a hybrid-cloud partnership with HPE and Microsoft; Verizon pushed its 5G standalone core to 2022; and a recap of T-Mobile's turbulent 2021.

Data center Ethernet switch revenue soared 11% year over year; Verizon extended its MEC offering to Google Cloud; and Cybereason launched its XDR platform.

The product combines Cybereason’s XDR, which fuses endpoint telemetry with behavioral analytics, with Google’s security analytics platform Chronicle.

The addition of Google Cloud puts Verizon closer to providing both public and private mobile edge compute services with all three of the cloud giants.

Amazon, Google, and Microsoft drove 400 Gb/s Ethernet switch deployments during the third quarter, Dell’Oro Group analysts report.
