Cisco introduced Live Protect, a runtime cybersecurity measure for networking hardware that enables deployment of targeted shields against AI-driven exploits without downtime. Security professionals can toggle shields on active systems to block specific vulnerabilities until comprehensive patches are available.
Cisco unveiled Cisco Cloud Control, a unified operations platform where human operators and AI agents manage, monitor, and defend critical IT infrastructure through a single login. The platform features natural-language agent and app builders, integrates telemetry across networking, security, observability, and collaboration, and connects to over 50 third-party tools.
Live Protect is now included with Nexus One entitlements and supports N9000 series switches, with plans to extend coverage to additional campus and branch products. Cisco Cloud Control enters controlled availability in the United States, with global rollout scheduled to follow, bolstering security and operational efficiency at machine speed.
