There’s rich — Amazon’s Jeff Bezos with not quite $200-billion and Microsoft’s Bill Gates with $132-billion — and then there’s Elon Musk rich: Approximately $241-billion. But, according to a note, “SpaceX Escape Velocity … Who Can Catch Them?” by Morgan Stanley‘s head of auto and space research Adam Jonas, SpaceX will launch him into being the first trillionaire.  True, SpaceX makes up less than 17% of Musk’s $241.4 billion net worth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires…

This guest blog was written by Aaron Sherrill, Senior Research Analyst at 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence.  Set the Stage: A World Without XDR Security operations teams at most organizations are overwhelmed by the sheer number of security products they’re required to manage. Over the course of many years, security teams have stitched together a robust security stack with dozens, if not hundreds, of disparate, siloed security tools, each aimed at protecting specific…

Part of the Hybrid Work Success Series In my last Hybrid work: Revolution or evolution newsroom article, I shared my thoughts about how hybrid work is really a revolution. It’s not incremental. It’s the next normal. Admittedly, how I work now has fundamentally changed. There are days where I am seemingly everywhere at once – working from my home office, then at the office, and finally at the soccer field. All in a single day….

It can take years for a CPU to go from design to silicon, so Arm is helping developers get a jump on things by putting virtual models of its chip designs in the cloud. The virtual models will allow developers to write and test applications before the actual silicon ships. Dubbed Arm Total Solutions for IoT, the project is a full-stack solution intended for Internet of Things applications and use cases. Arm says the early…

Hewlett Packard Enterprise company Aruba is taking the wraps of a new flagship data-center switch aimed at helping to better control and secure hybrid-cloud traffic in the enterprise. The Aruba CX 10000 Series switch is a top-of-rack, L2/3 data-center box that the with 3.2Tbps of switching capacity, 48 ports of line rate 10/25GbE and six 40/100GbE ports, the company says. But its most intriguing component is an integrated Elba programmable data processing unit (DPU) from…

When I was learning to write Python, I  did a lot of pair programming. Pair programming is where two engineers/developers work using only one machine – taking it in turns to write code (often coding every 15 minutes and swapping over). This technique is awesome for learning from each other. As our team members are now all working from home and in different time zones, collaboration has become a lot more challenging. Enter the Tabnine AI…

As organizations become less centralized they face new security challenges that require new ways of addressing threats that will change the basic fabric of network security, according to Gartner analysts. A persistent challenge adapting to these changes is the skills gap–finding IT pros with the technical know-how to meet evolving security issues, Peter Firstbrook, Gartner vice president and anayst told attendees at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2021 Americas. “Cybersecurity teams are being asked to secure countless…

These days, protecting the network perimeter is a foregone conclusion. However, there is no longer a monolithic perimeter—there are often multiple perimeters to protect. Unauthorized attempts to cross perimeters are frequent, and the need to defend against threats is critical to protect your assets. In any perimeter defense a key component is firewalls—the proverbial guard towers in your fortifications. They are chiefly responsible for controlling and inspecting the traffic coming into, and going out of,…

On a typically cool June 10, 2019, in San Diego, CA, we introduced a transformation in our network engineering certifications, with software, automation, and security woven throughout. We also announced a brand-new set of DevNet certifications that focused on a software-first approach to Cisco’s products and technologies. We had an Associate-level certification, various Specialist-level certifications, and a Professional-level certification. But something was missing. There was this little emblem over the Expert certification: Coming Soon. Well,…
