Cisco is enhancing security capabilities through innovations such as Cisco Hypershield and the integration with Splunk, redefining security at the scale of artificial intelligence.
Cisco and Splunk collaborate to accelerate the journey toward the Security Operations Center (SOC) of the future, integrating their platforms to provide comprehensive security solutions.
With the industry’s first AI-native security architecture, Cisco Hypershield enables protection against both known and unknown threats.
Cisco Identity Intelligence now powers Continuous Identity Security in Cisco Duo, addressing the rising threat of identity-based attacks.
At the RSA CONFERENCE 2024 in Bangalore, India, on May 6, 2024, Cisco announced groundbreaking advancements across the Cisco Security Cloud, aimed at fortifying and safeguarding the AI revolution. These innovations bolster Cisco’s unified, AI-driven security platform, empowering companies to defend their applications, devices, users, and data effectively, while also facilitating faster incident detection, response, and recovery.
Securing today’s intricate digital landscape requires more than human-scale efforts, as cyber threats grow in sophistication and the shortage of cybersecurity talent persists. To counter these challenges, organizations must embrace native AI security solutions and challenge conventional methods to gain an advantage against adversaries.
Cisco’s Executive Vice President and General Manager for Security and Collaboration, Jeetu Patel, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing customer efficacy and economics through a platform-based security approach. Leveraging ‘zero to one’ innovations like Cisco Hypershield and strategic acquisitions such as Splunk and Isovalent, Cisco’s security platform is unmatched and poised for continued success.
Cisco’s partnership with Splunk signifies a significant step toward advancing the vision of the SOC of the future. By integrating Cisco Extended Detection & Response (XDR) with Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), organizations gain enhanced threat prevention, detection, investigation, and response capabilities. This integration leverages the strengths of both platforms to create a comprehensive defense strategy and improve digital resilience.
Moreover, Cisco’s introduction of Cisco Hypershield marks a pivotal development in securing AI-scale data centers. By detecting and blocking attacks stemming from unknown vulnerabilities within runtime workload environments, Hypershield offers unparalleled protection for applications, devices, and data across various environments. Designed with AI from the ground up, Hypershield enables organizations to achieve security outcomes beyond human capabilities.
In response to the escalating threat of identity-based attacks, Cisco is revolutionizing user protection with Continuous Identity Security. By integrating phishing-resistant capabilities into Cisco Duo, the company aims to deliver seamless access experiences while mitigating identity risks in real-time. Features like Duo Passport and Cisco Identity Intelligence in Duo enhance user experience and bolster security posture, aligning with the evolving needs of today’s threat landscape.
Cisco’s commitment to innovation and security excellence underscores its mission to protect organizations across the globe. With a comprehensive suite of AI-driven solutions, Cisco continues to lead the charge in fortifying digital infrastructures and empowering businesses to thrive in the era of AI.
