Cisco combines network intelligence and OpenAI models to build more adaptive defenses

As adversaries leverage AI to scale automated attacks and craft exploits at machine-speed, defending enterprise infrastructure must evolve. Pairing Cisco's vast network telemetry with frontier AI reasoning gives defenders the toolkit necessary to outpace emerging threats. OpenAI's rigorous approach to enterprise data privacy—centered on zero data retention, strict customer data boundaries, and verifiable isolation—means Cisco could confidently deploy frontier intelligence across mission-critical systems without compromising customer priorities or sensitive telemetry
Cisco's defense starts where threats move: the network. Patel describes a shift from a single security perimeter to controls distributed across microservices, containers, and clusters. "We can put a mini security stack in front of every microservice, every Kubernetes container, and every Kubernetes cluster, and fuse security into the fabric of the network," he says
