Apple pledged $430 billion for 5G and jobs; Dell tapped Secureworks for managed XDR; and Kubernetes hit a maturity milestone.

Coin miner malware attacks increased 53% sequentially in the fourth quarter of 2020, according to research from Avira Protection Labs.

The subscription-based, managed detection and response service targets organizations with 50 or more endpoints, and it combines Secureworks’ XDR with Dell Technologies’ security analysts.

HPE, Facebook, and Microsoft freed up low-carbon patents; Intel beat Q1 guidance; and AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon renewed net-zero pledges.

“The cybersecurity risks of ransomware are a clear and present, global danger,” McAfee’s Thomas Gann said.

Verizon is bolstering its 5G push, AT&T Cybersecurity is seeing a big enterprise push, and what is technology's place in reducing waste.

"I’m a little skittish. We’re seeing dynamics that are occuring in the global supply chain where unexpected things are popping up," AT&T CEO John Stankey said.

In a circular economy, waste is designed out, and products are instead looped back into the production system at end of use.

Ericsson eyed potential 5G windfall; latest nation-state attack hit Pulse Secure; and Cisco dropped $100 million on climate tech.

Also this week, the U.S. Department of Energy launched a coordinated effort with CISA to secure the energy sector against cyberattacks.

While the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly ushered in a shift to remote work, “as things set in, it was very clear that this was here to stay,” VMware’s Shankar Iyer

Google and Siemens teamed up on industrial AI; Nvidia's $40B Arm acquisition hit a UK snag; and Stellar Cyber added threat into to its XDR.

The telecom industry surged past consumer services, security and investigations, internet, and cryptocurrency as the top target.

The funding announcement comes on the heels of a new collaboration with Dell Technologies to tackle the data protection gap in popular cloud-based application platforms.

The new threat intelligence integration also delivers bi-directional feeds so that the Open XDR platform grows smarter over time.

The latest regulatory test seeks to determine the national security implications of allowing Nvidia acquisition of Arm Holdings to move forward.

Dell and VMware reached a spinoff deal; Juniper built a Metro Cloud; and China Mobile Cloud will deploy Nuage's Virtual Cloud Services.

Collusion fraud can happen to companies in any industry, and it highlights the importance of using machine-learning based analytics.
