The new Edge browser will soon warn you if one of your passwords shows up in a data breach - a feature based on an Azure service that enterprises can already use to protect user passwords. Browser extensions like PassProtect warn you if the password you're using to log into a site is known to have been compromised and listed in a data breach, often based on the excellent Have I Been Pwned service.
Today, customers use the AWS Snow Family to collect and process data, run local computing applications, and move large volumes of data from log files, digital media, genomic data, and sensor data from connected devices to AWS. As customers seek to extend the reach of their cloud infrastructure into more edge locations, new use cases are emerging for edge computing in more situations like vehicles, industrial operations, and remote and austere sites that require a rugged and secure device with even greater portability and a smaller form factor than the AWS Snow Family of devices has traditionally provided. AWS Snowcone provides maximum flexibility for edge computing environments, offering a small, ultra-portable, rugged, and military grade secure device to run applications and migrate data to AWS. AWS Snowcone measures 9 inches x 6 inches x 3 inches and weighs 4.5 lbs.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced HPE Edge Orchestrator, a SaaS-based offering that enables telcos to deploy innovative new edge computing services to customers via IT infrastructure located at the edge of telco networks or on customer premises.

Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, introduced Aruba ESP, the industry's first AI-powered, cloud-native platform that predicts and resolves problems at the network edge before they happen. Aruba ESP is designed to deliver a cloud experience at the edge and can be consumed either as a service in the cloud or on-premises, as a managed service delivered through Aruba partners, or via network as a service through HPE GreenLake.
IOTech, the Intelligent Edge Software company, announced the general availability of Edge XRT, a new software platform for time-critical and resource-constrained applications at the IoT Edge. Edge XRT greatly simplifies the development of time-critical IoT systems at the Edge and enables application portability, improved supportability and faster time-to-market for new IoT edge applications.
Security concerns remain prominent across all network environments, with some unique to the network edge, SDN, and other services. Securing subnets, switches, routers, and firewalls is a fairly traditional field, but security gets a lot tricker with such concepts as the network edge, software-defined networking and other newfangled services.
