Network Break 60: Cisco s Acquisitions, Verizon s IoT Ambitions

Description:

Take a Network Break! In the latest episode we analyze Cisco’s acquisitions of IoT company ParStream and network security vendor Lancope. We also break down an ambitious IoT road map from Verizon.

We speculate on why Mesosphere walked away from a potential acquisition by Microsoft,  wonder about the privacy implications of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), and adjust our tinfoil hats at the news that ex-NSA chief Keith Alexander is starting a security company.

We also poke a little fun at promotional video for the new HP Enterprise, and provide a link to a detailed breakdown of the Dell/EMC deal.
