Cisco acquires privately-held cloud-based platform ThousandEyes. Headquartered in San Francisco, CA. ThousandEyes Internet and Cloud intelligence platform deliver deep visibility and insights into the digital delivery of applications and services over the Internet. The last few years have seen a rapid acceleration of Cloud adoption, widespread use of SaaS applications, and a reliance on the Internet and networks outside of enterprise control. This increased dependence on the Internet and other third-party infrastructures, compounded over the past several months during the COVID-19 pandemic, substantially reduces the ability for enterprise IT teams to predict, visualize and control operational behavior. The result is often a chaotic and unmanageable IT environment th...

Scientists have developed a method of securely communicating between multiple quantum devices, bringing a large-scale, un-hackable network closer to reality. To date, communicating via quantum networks has only been possible between two devices of known provenance that have been built securely. "We're in a technology arms race of sorts. When quantum computers are fully developed, they will break much of today's encryption whose security is only based on mathematical assumptions," said Ciaran Lee, from University College London in the UK. "To pre-emptively solve this, we are working on new ways of communicating through large networks that don't rely on assumptions, but instead use the quantum laws of physics to ensure security, which would need to be broken to hack the encryption,"...
