Take a Network Break! Join us as we analyze IT news, including reports that HPE allowed a Russian agency to examine source code from a security product, Symantec’s pledge to disallow source code review, and allegations that Kaspersky software has been infiltrated by Russian state actors.
We also review a Guardian story that the Deliotte breach may be wider than initially claimed, gawk at Accenture for leaving cloud storage unprotected, and shake our heads in disgust at the latest Equifax gaffe.
Cisco announces version 3.0 of ACI, including multi-site management, Dell pledges $1 billion to kick off a new IoT business, Barracuda announces its latest fiscal results, and Microsoft buys 15 years’ worth of wind energy.
