Take a Network Break! We sound a red alert about a swarm of critical D-Link vulnerabilities. In this week's news, CISA warns organizations to harden endpoint management systems in the wake of a cyberattack that used the target's own Microsoft Intune system to wipe thousands of devices, Cisco rolls an NVIDIA ASIC into an N9100 switch, and AT&T and Cisco partner around Nvidia's AI Grid architecture.
Cisco barely beats out Huawei for Wi-Fi 7 revenues in 2025, Microsoft touts LED-based data center fiber optics, and Zenarmor extends its SASE coverage to mobile devices.
Cata powers up its PoPs with GPUs, NVIDIA rolls out new GPU families designed for satellites and spacecraft, and BlueOrigin applies for a constellation of up to 51,600 satellites to serve as orbital data centers.
