Thales deploys eSIM subscription platform on Google Cloud - ZDNet Posted: 04 May 2020 08:42 PM PDT Thales has deployed a public cloud version of its embedded SIM (eSIM) remote subscription platform on Google Cloud to help telcos manage the increase of mobile subscription for eSIM-capable devices. As part of the initial deployment, the platform, which Thales touted is GSMA-certified, will be accessible by telcos on Google Cloud in more than 200 countries and territories. "By collaborating with Google Cloud teams, we have designed a global service to answer the exponential demand for new eSIM devices," Thales mobile connectivity solutions SVP Emmanuel Unguran said. "This hybrid infrastructure is a springboard to innovative IoT applications in a standardised and interoperable security framework. By achieving GSMA certification our cloud-based solution provides a trusted and compliant platform for telecom operators." Last September, Australia's incumbent telco Telstra extended its eSIM functionality to consumer and small business customers. The technology has been within Australia's incumbent telco since 2017 when it launched Telstra One Number.   Apple has supported eSIMs since the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR round of announcements, while Google has supported eSIM since the Pixel 2.   Optus owner Singtel first started supporting eSIMs in January 2017.   Related Coverage

Google helps users reduce Google Cloud costs - ZDNet Posted: 21 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT Over the past two years, the major native cloud players have launched cloud management product teams focused on improving the visibility, billing, and optimization capabilities available natively. Google has also joined this effort. The company provides customers with cost and billing support via onboarding checklists, how-to guides, billing support specialists, and providing billing account, catalog, and budget APIs. Although Google bills customers on a monthly basis, it's also providing options for per-second, on-demand pricing in addition to various committed or sustained-use discounts: Sustained-use discounts. For standard virtual machines (VMs) being used more than 25% monthly, Compute Engine will automatically discount your bill. Better yet, if an instance is run for the entire month, the discount increases to 30%, an added benefit that provides a discount outside the traditional path of prepaying usage time. Committed-use discounts. Similar to Amazon Web Services' Reserved Instances, the user can receive a discount (up to 57%) in exchange for committing to using an instance for a certain period of time. When used optimally, users can save up to 57%. No upfront payment is necessary, and there is flexibility to change during the commitment period. The instance purchase is tied to a region, however, but can be changed to any instance configuration with few limitations. Preemptible VMs. Like Amazon's Spot Instances, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers a fixed 80% discount for virtual machine usage, though only a 30-second warning is provided before a preemptible instance changes price. As is the case with all major cloud platforms, navigating billing and cost optimization gets highly complex. New users can kick off their savings with Google's free cost management tools (GCP Pricing Calculator, resource hierarchy, Cloud Identity and Access Management, or quotas). Keep in mind that with its per-second billing, anyone interacting with Google resources should create a script that starts, stops, and destroys a resource for the duration of the application usage. Not only will this prevent unnecessary costs but it could also prevent operational and security issues. This post was written by Senior Analyst Tracy Woo, and it originally appeared here.

Orca Raises $20.5M for Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Security - MSSP Alert Posted: 05 May 2020 08:32 AM PDT by Dan Kobialka • May 5, 2020 Gil Geron, co-founder, Orca Security Avi Shua, co-founder, Orca Security Orca Security, an Israeli cybersecurity startup founded by former Check Point Software Technologies executives Avi Shua and Gil Geron, has raised $20.5 million in Series A financing. The funding comes after Orca secured $6.5 million in seed financing last year. Orca will use the Series A funds to explore ways to help organizations securely grow their operations in the cloud, Shua said. The Series A funds also could help Orca further enhance its SideScanning cloud security posture management (CSPM) technology. SideScanning provides organizations with visibility into Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments, according to Orca. It integrates with cloud environments without any side effects on performance or availability and helps organizations detect cyber risks across these environments. To use SideScanning, an end-user first needs to log in to a cloud account and provide Orca with read-only access. Next, Orca reads the user's workloads' run-time block storage out-of-band, cross-references it with cloud context pulled from cloud vendors' APIs and scans a read-only view of the user's cloud assets. Orca then provides the user with insights into malware, misconfigurations, lateral movement risk, weak and leaked passwords and other cloud security risks. SideScanning provides full coverage of cloud environments in minutes and prioritizes alerts based on all available security data, Shua stated. In doing so, SideScanning offers an alternative to repurposed, pre-cloud tools that can take months to deploy. Furthermore, SideScanning is delivered via software-as-a-service (SaaS), and it is agentless. SideScanning also provides organizations with access to vulnerability, exploit, threat intelligence, malware and leaked password databases.
