Face Real-Time Threats with AI and Cisco 

Cisco is a giant in the field of networking and technology, with decades of experience dedicated to connecting the world through its products and services. Security has been one of its main priorities, and now it is taking a more active role than ever in protecting your systems and information. 

Last February, the Cisco Live EMEA event took place, where Cisco presented its latest innovations in network management and security. Designed to drive a unified, comprehensive approach, these innovations help their customers deliver secure and efficient experiences. 

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its portfolio of services and products allows for the development of innovations in two key components of its technological infrastructure: 

• Cisco Networking Cloud 
• Cisco Observability Platform 

A Decisive Step in Security 

The new AI-driven capabilities of Cisco Networking Cloud were designed to address the three main priorities of organizations and IT teams: security, automation, and a unified digital experience. 

Aiming to strengthen network protection, the optimizations of Cisco Networking Cloud provide a comprehensive view and scalable security policies that do not compromise the user experience. 

With the new integrations of Cisco Security Access and Security Posture, network users can access more detailed reports of their OT assets and enable automated security management and monitoring focused on the digital experience. 

These innovations also allow for simpler operations on their management platforms. To this end, Cisco introduced two tools focused on cloud-based monitoring and management: 

• Cloud Monitoring for Catalyst Wireless 
• Catalyst 9300-M Cloud-Managed Switch Models 

They also launched two models dedicated to facilitating scalable infrastructures and AI adoption: 

• Cisco UCS X-Series Direct 
• Cisco AI Validated Designs 

With these additions to its service portfolio, Cisco offers the most comprehensive tools to optimize your network infrastructure. Their new models explore the advantages of AI in supporting applications for more sustainable operations with lower latency. 

Observability as a Priority

Regarding observability, Cisco optimized its platform to offer users specialized insights, greater visibility, and improved performance and user experience. 

Designed to provide centralized information from multiple domains, Cisco Observability Platform helps organizations improve visibility and eliminate silos by leveraging AI/ML capabilities along with real-time telemetry. 

Cisco’s innovations in observability offer you new technologies and applications such as: 

• Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM), a tool for achieving greater visibility and management of user behavior 
• Improved observability for Kubernetes workloads, powered by Berkeley Packet Filters (eBPF) technology 
• A unified observability experience for operators, with Log Analytics and Core Web Vitals 
• Actionable insights for optimized IT operations with the new Cisco AIOps application and its real-time operations monitoring 

All this is supported by new specialized partners and a natural language interface for smoother and more flexible interactions. 

With the innovations of Cisco Networking Cloud and its observability platform, Cisco is revolutionizing its systems. Get closer to a future where network security and management are guaranteed by AI.
