\u00a0In an agentic AI world, organizations must act and defend at machine speed and scale. Cisco Cloud Control, unveiled at Cisco Live, is a uni\ufb01ed platform built for humans and AI agents to manage, monitor and defend critical IT infrastructure \u2014 and the foundation for Cisco\u2019s AgenticOps operating model<\/p>\n
With one login, Cisco Cloud Control delivers a single view of Cisco networking, security, compute, observability, and collaboration in one secure environment. People and agents work from a single data layer, sharing the same operational context and the same system of action, while humans stay in control. Customers can build their own applications and agents using natural language directly within the platform, which also connects to a large ecosystem, including AWS, Linear, ServiceNow, and Slack<\/p>\n
\u201cAI agents reason and act continuously at software speed, and that changes everything about how we scale, manage, and defend our critical infrastructure,\u201d said Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco. \u201cCisco Cloud Control is a command center for agentic AI: a platform where your team and your AI agents work together, in the same environment, with the same information, and with humans in control”<\/p>\n
One platform for humans and agents to run the agentic enterprise<\/p>\n
Cisco Cloud Control is the single management plane that brings a customer\u2019s entire estate into one environment \u2014 one login, one view<\/p>\n
Cross-domain telemetry. The rich data flowing across networking, security, observability, collaboration, and more<\/p>\n
Trusted agents. Through Cisco Cloud Control, operators will be able to work with autonomous agents that can follow a structured path from signal to action: spotting trouble, identifying causes, carrying out fixes, testing changes before deployment, and confirming the user experience has recovered. Teams will be able to automate network ops with an agentic loop, while keeping actions visible and governed<\/p>\n
Cisco AI Canvas. A multiplayer, generative workspace where operators and agents work from the same live evidence to investigate and resolve complex issues together in real time<\/p>\n
Cloud Control Studio. Agent Builder lets customers build agents for Cloud Control tailored to their own policies and workflows, with the ability to connect to more than 50+ third-party platforms and tools through native connectors or the open Model Context Protocol (MCP)<\/p>\n
Cisco Cloud Control enters Controlled Availability in United States today, with Global Availability to follow.<\/p>\n
Security for the Mythos era, fused directly into the infrastructure<\/p>\n
Reactive defense is no longer enough when the window between vulnerability and exploit has collapsed from weeks to minutes.<\/p>\n
Cisco is expanding protections across its infrastructure to shield customers from new vulnerabilities quickly following discovery \u2014 with Cisco Cloud Control as the security command center where defense plays out in real time.<\/p>\n
Always-on defense across the infrastructure<\/p>\n
Live Protect acts as a digital immune system for Cisco products, shielding them from newly discovered and prioritized vulnerabilities for supported platforms at runtime \u2014 no reboots, no upgrades, no maintenance windows<\/p>\n
Now available in N9000 series switches and included with the Nexus One product entitlement, Live Protect is expanding to more products in the Cisco Portfolio in the coming months, starting with campus and branch smart switches, followed by secure routers later in the year<\/p>\n
Protecting agents from the world, and the world from agents<\/p>\n
AI agents are joining the workforce, working alongside humans, and taking on tasks that require a secure environment. Today, Cisco announced further enhancements across its agentic security offerings, from AI Defense, to Zero Trust for agents, to the Agentic SOC<\/p>\n
Clear path to quantum-safe infrastructure<\/p>\n
“Harvest now, decrypt later” attacks are already happening, collecting encrypted data to unlock when quantum capabilities catch up. Cisco is turning tomorrow’s threat into a plan enterprises can start building today<\/p>\n
New Quantum-safe communications advancements across Cisco\u2019s core portfolio. With a commitment to enable quantum-safe communications capabilities across the majority of Cisco\u2019s core portfolio by December 2026, Cisco is extending post-quantum protection to the systems where the most sensitive enterprise traffic flows<\/p>\n
Quantum-safe by default for new infrastructure. Starting today and moving forward, any newly introduced campus, branch and data center routers, switches, and firewall series will launch with quantum-safe secure boot. This builds on the same quantum-safe technology already shipping in campus smart switches<\/p>\n
The new Quantum Ready Assessments, available through Cisco IQ, identify the assets most exposed to “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks \u2014 and where to start<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
