AI Security Spending to Grow 69% to $4.8B in 2027, Says Gartner
📅 - Gartner expects spending on products designed specifically to secure artificial intelligence systems to reach $4.8 billion in 2027, up 68.7% from 2026. The forecast reflects a fast-forming security category around AI applications, usage controls, governance platforms and gateways, as enterprises confront prompt injection, access weaknesses, supply chain exposure and increasingly autonomous software inside production environments at scale.
The number itself is striking, but the more useful signal is how quickly AI security is becoming a budget category separate from conventional cybersecurity. Gartner estimates spending at $2.835 billion in 2026, representing 83% growth, before another [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Equinix Expands Security Portfolio With Netskope Zero Trust - Equinix has added Netskope Private Access to its Network Edge marketplace, letting enterprises deploy the zero trust access service as a virtual network function close to existing interconnection points. The integration targets companies trying to reduce VPN appliances and traffic detours, although it also gives network teams another software dependency to operate across complicated hybrid infrastructure estates.
The service was made generally available with Equinix Network Edge release 2026.7 on July 15, although Equinix highlighted the availability again in an August 19 community update. Netskope Private Access can now be deployed alongside other virtual routers, firewalls and network [...]
📅 - Digital Realty Gets 50MW Slot in Constrained Singapore Market - Digital Realty has secured a provisional 50 megawatt allocation for a fourth Singapore data center, giving the infrastructure landlord scarce expansion capacity in one of Asia's most constrained digital markets. The Jurong Island project comes with unusually explicit energy and efficiency conditions, turning access to power into both a commercial advantage and an execution risk for operators.
The award is one quarter of 200 MW granted by Singapore to four incumbent operators after a competitive process that drew more than 20 proposals. Equinix, Keppel Data Centres and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres received the other 50 MW allocations. For buyers, the immediate takeaway is not simply [...]
📅 - US Widens Lead in Global Hyperscale Data Center Capacity - Hyperscale computing is becoming more geographically concentrated, even as AI infrastructure demand spreads globally. New Synergy Research Group data shows 20 state or metro markets now host 60% of worldwide hyperscale capacity, with Northern Virginia and Greater Beijing alone holding 17%, underscoring how power, permitting, cloud economics and operator concentration are reshaping where large scale computing gets built.
For infrastructure buyers, the concentration is difficult to dismiss as a simple map of existing cloud demand. It is increasingly a map of where power can still be secured, projects can still be permitted, and operators can build at a scale that works economically. The [...]
📅 - AWS Acquires DuckLabs Without Buying Open-Source DuckDB - Amazon has agreed to acquire Amsterdam-based DuckLabs, bringing the core engineering team behind DuckDB into AWS while leaving the open-source database outside the transaction. The deal gives Amazon direct access to the developers steering one of analytics' fastest-growing projects, without ownership of the code, license or nonprofit foundation that governs its future technical direction and governance model.
Financial terms were not disclosed. Amazon said the transaction is expected to close shortly, subject to customary conditions, while DuckLabs said it expects to become an AWS subsidiary in early September. Co-founders Hannes Mühleisen and Mark Raasveldt will remain in Amsterdam and [...]
📅 - EcoDataCenter Secures Land for 150MW Swedish Data Center Campus - EcoDataCenter has secured 52 hectares in Smedjebacken for a third Dalarna data center campus, with 150MW of initial power capacity and construction targeted after permits clear in 2027. The Swedish operator is concentrating more infrastructure in one region as AI and hyperscale demand increasingly collide with power, grid, permitting, cooling, and local economic constraints across northern Europe.
The land agreement moves a project discussed since 2019 closer to construction, but it does not remove the harder infrastructure dependencies. Smedjebacken municipal documents show Swedish grid operator Svenska Kraftnät and Vattenfall gave positive indications for 150MW of power, with delivery [...]
📅 - Deploying Suricata with DPDK on High-Traffic Servers - Securing a modern, high-throughput data center presents a significant architectural challenge. As network speeds scale to 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and even 100Gbps, traditional Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) become major operational bottlenecks. The core issue lies within the standard Linux kernel network stack, which relies on interrupt-driven processing. Under heavy packet loads, the kernel is simply overwhelmed, resulting in dropped packets and severely throttled bandwidth.
To achieve uncompromised security without sacrificing throughput, iDatam’s latest technical tutorial details how to deploy Suricata utilizing the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) on bare-metal Linux dedicated servers.
