The service allows users to control how logging is routed from a single, centralized location while keeping the data plane on premises or in the cloud.

“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.

“This portfolio allows customers to focus on applications and business initiatives, rather than the management of their underlying infrastructure,” Google Cloud's Sachin Gupta said.

The vendor plans to integrate Bitglass into its fledgling SASE platform.

Akamai bought Guardicore for $600 million; Snyk's Series F funding bumped the company's valuation to $8.5 billion; and F5 acquired Threat Stack.

Rakuten Symphony needs money; SASE is an integral part of VMware's broader multi-cloud strategy; Cisco sets its data and privacy standard.

Increasingly the vendor's SASE is becoming a platform for connecting applications with applications and clouds with clouds.

Despite Rakuten’s pioneering ways in open RAN, it and the technology itself has much to prove outside of Japan.

“More money will allow us to go faster, bigger, and stronger. And that's the reason that we took it,” Solo.io CEO Idit Levine said.

Within four years, “if everything is going well, up to 60%, 70% of the total deployment of radios will be done with this architecture,” Telefónica CTO Enrique Blanco said.

Marvell released its first 5-nm switch silicon and DPUS; VMware said it's a critical partner for 5G operators; and AT&T's CSO emphasized the value of effective authentication.

Automation and hybrid cloud infrastructure are no longer a choice, but a necessity, Bharti Airtel CTO Randeep Sekhon said at Red Hat’s Open5G event.

“Our role in 5G is we provide the 5G underlay on top of which the 5G radio access network software runs,” VMware CEO Raghu Raghuram said.

The chipmaker claims its new switches and data processing units offer 50% lower power consumption than its competitors.

“Going forward, multi-cloud is at the center of gravity for everything we do,” Raghu Raghuram said during his opening keynote at VMworld.

The vendor's Secure Private Access provides conditional access to applications based on factors including identity, location, and device.

NEC and Juniper Networks partner to simplify 5G transport; telco vendors earned $110.4B in the first half of 2021; and Cisco published a framework for assessing an organization’s trustworthiness.

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

Telecom infrastructure vendors collectively pulled in $110.4 billion in revenue during the first half of 2021, up 7.4% from the first half of 2020.

The platform will boost deployments of converged, packet-optical networks, Juniper's Jim Benson said.

Fugue released an infrastructure as code platform; the Quad pledged to foster open RAN tech; and Gartner analysts say security services should be consolidated.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are relatively recent additions to the world of algorithms and they offer new promises for operators.

“SASE at first might seem like a grand vision but there are absolutely things that you can do to move toward a SASE architecture today,” Gartner's Neil MacDonald said.

Cisco appointed Shaila Shankar as security chief; Juniper's new switch targets Cisco and Arista gaps; and Huawei said it doesn't support O-RAN or vRAN.
