Article Summaries:

  • Palo Alto Networks announced the acquisition of Koi, a startup that monitors endpoints for malicious packages, browser extensions, and scripts, strengthening its AI‑driven security portfolio. The deal follows the company’s robust Q2 earnings and complements its broader zero‑trust strategy, which also includes Oracle Cloud’s new zero‑trust packet routing. Meanwhile, quantum networking research achieved two milestones: Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs demonstrated quantum teleportation over a live Berlin network, and Cisco‑Qunnect showcased entanglement swapping across metro fiber links. Additional tech updates include Lumen’s multi‑cloud gateway, Google’s geothermal power purchase for Nevada data centers, and a new “Vouch” framework to curb AI‑generated code risks.
