There's no guarantee the one-month delay, which pushes back initial 5G network activations to the first week of January 2022, won't be extended further into next year.

“It becomes very important to have complete or comprehensive zero trust across the enterprise,” Palo Alto Networks CPO Lee Klarich said.

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.

Malware infection rates in North America's fixed networks have also declined throughout the course of 2021 to 2.5%, but still remain well above the low point of 1.1% in

More than a quarter of the respondents thought they'd already deployed NaaS, according to Cisco's latest report.

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.

“SD-WAN doesn’t replace MPLS, but it has largely capped its growth. 5G is poised to change that,” VMware's Ramkumar Venketaramani and Ajitesh Gupta said.

Dish Network plans to launch 5G in Las Vegas; cyber officials encourage the private sector to work with the government to fight ransomware; and Fortinet reported a strong Q3.

While Fortinet expects to maintain strong revenue growth going into the fourth quarter, CFO Keith Jensen warned supply chain constraints could slow the vendor's momentum.

"We're in the beta test mode and we'll progress that over the course of the next 90 days and look forward to launching Vegas sometime in the first quarter

Tag Cyber’s CEO says SASE makes life more complicated; NEC and Qualcomm teamed up on 5G infrastructure; and Palo Alto Networks and Siemens announced a partnership.

Under the agreement, Siemens will sell its Ruggedcom networking and security platforms with Palo Alto Networks’ VM-Series firewalls built in.

The pairing puts the two aspiring vendors in line to capture a greater share of the RAN market if open RAN adoption picks up in the coming years.

Hybrid networking and security models have only made network teams' lives harder, Tag Cyber CEO Ed Amoroso said.

IBM announced plans to buy ReaQta; Juniper Networks’ CEO challenged Cisco and Arista; and SUSE acquired container security vendor NeuVector.

“We’re two years ahead on the 5G race, and I'm here to tell you that in two years from now, we'll be two years or more ahead in the

“​​I challenge Arista’s Cloud Vision to work on Cisco infrastructure or Cisco's ACI to work on Arista switches. It can't be done,” CEO Rami Rahim said.

The metaverse may be the next medium for cybercrime; VMware and Dell Technologies completed their spinoff deal; and Netskope released Cloud Exchange.

“One of the biggest challenges IT and network operations teams face is having the right level of visibility into operational health of the network,” COO Manoj Leelanivas said.

The update builds on several recent collaborations with colocation and cloud providers, and it boasts improved multi-tenancy and an updated management console.

Cloud Exchange is available at no added cost and enables threat intelligence and other data to be shared between multiple security products.

Dell and VMware execs said everyone wins from the Dell-VMware spin; Cisco found 64% of workers said they’d consider resigning if they couldn’t work remotely; and Aruba tapped DPU

The war to secure remote workers' homes has a new combatant as VMware joins Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet in battle.

Amazon cloud sales jumped 39%; Intel is putting developers at the center of its focus; and AT&T introduced a managed firewall service for 5G network deployments.
