With BeyondCorp Enterprise, Google is expanding its offering to any company accessing applications in any location (on the company’s premises or in any cloud) and thus becomes a fully fledged competitor in the ZTA market.

Rik Turner, Principal Analyst, Infrastructure Solutions, Omdia
Lacework raises an impressive $525 million in a funding round, while Red Hat spends an undisclosed amount on container security vendor StackRox, with a particular focus on Kubernetes (K8s) security, and F5 splashes out $500 million for edge app platform start-up Volterra.
