A New Era in AI Defense: Cisco’s Innovative Approach

The Bifurcation of Emerging Toolsets

As this transition unfolds, we observe a few key trends. The adoption of AI defense solutions leads to the bifurcation of emerging toolsets, offering developers a vast array of rapidly evolving options. Consequently, development teams move swiftly, while security teams, tasked with establishing boundaries around the developers’ work, struggle to keep up and often lose track of it.

Cisco’s AI Defense is poised to address this key issue of “Discovery” by providing an inventory of all AI workloads, applications, models, data, and user access across distributed cloud environments.

Addressing the Challenge of Discovery

Cisco’s AI Defense will integrate into its existing network visibility infrastructure consisting of firewalls, web proxies, and secure access gateways, to scan network traffic and identify all existing AI workflows.

Streamlining the Process

By providing a comprehensive inventory of AI workloads, applications, models, data, and user access, Cisco’s AI Defense aims to streamline the process for security teams, enabling them to:

• Identify and classify AI workloads and applications
• Monitor and analyze AI-related network traffic
• Implement policies and controls to govern AI usage
• Enhance incident response and threat detection
