Cisco is making significant strides in integrating artificial intelligence into its networking and data center solutions. They are releasing a range of new products and updates that leverage AI to enhance security and automate network tasks, with a focus on supporting AI adoption for enterprise IT. These new "AgenticOps" tools will enable the orchestration of AI agents with a high degree of autonomy within enterprise environments, aiming to streamline complex system management. Cisco's strategy includes a focus on secure network architectures and AI-driven policies to combat emerging threats, including rogue AI agents.
The networking giant is also strengthening its data center strategy through an expanded partnership with NVIDIA. This collaboration is designed to establish a new standard for secure, scalable, and high-performance enterprise AI. The Cisco AI Defense and Hypershield security solutions utilize NVIDIA AI to deliver enhanced visibility, validation, and runtime protection across AI workflows. This partnership builds upon the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA, aiming to provide continuous monitoring and protection throughout the AI lifecycle, from data ingestion to model deployment.
Furthermore, Cisco is enhancing AI networking performance to meet the demands of data-intensive AI workloads. This includes Cisco Intelligent Packet Flow, which dynamically steers traffic using real-time telemetry, and NVIDIA Spectrum-X, an AI-optimized Ethernet platform that delivers high-throughput and low-latency connectivity. By offering end-to-end visibility and unified monitoring across networks and GPUs, Cisco and NVIDIA are enabling enterprises to maintain zero-trust security across distributed AI environments, regardless of where data and workloads are located.
