As the company took to the stage at its Next '21 conference, it reiterated its vision of security as a fundamental component of its cloud offerings. This time around, Google Cloud unveiled various additional security capabilities on different services, as well as new partnership initiatives and the launch of an advisory group.
The company has announced a series D funding round of $1.3bn. Lacework plans to use the funding for a combination of product R&D, strategic acquisitions and general expansion of go-to-market activities across multiple geographies.
As multiple factors drive security operations teams to enhance operations, extended detection and response has emerged as an approach for more efficient and (hopefully) effective integration of security telemetry and analytics. Now XDR has driven yet another deal, with IBM reaching for ReaQta to complement its revamped QRadar portfolio.
As they embrace cloud-native technologies, enterprise customers indicate that adaptable and built-in security should be standard. Following moves by its rivals, SUSE is aiming to address this need for coverage in container security and cloud-native environments with the acquisition of NeuVector.
The rise of extended detection and response has led security vendors to address customer needs about ingestion of multiple sources of telemetry and offer better analyst workflows and analytics. Cybereason's XDR offering is centered on its concept of a 'MalOp,' bolstered by a new partnership with Google Cloud.
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation hosted its first hybrid virtual/in-person conference, with masked attendees and over 200 vendors pushing their products in a showcase reminiscent of pre-COVID-19 times. The energy was subdued, but the mood was positive as open source leaders and practitioners focused on the work ahead.
