At the 2025 Cisco Live event in San Diego, Cisco announced significant updates to its security products, focusing on integrating security deeper into its network infrastructure. The updates, including new capabilities for its Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Zero Trust Network Access, aim to simplify policy management, improve network visibility, and reduce complexity for security professionals. Cisco emphasizes the increased security challenges presented by agentic AI, noting the need for enhanced protection against more sophisticated threats as threat actors utilize AI tools for attacks. The updates seek to empower IT and security teams to effectively manage evolving threats.
Safety and security are the defining challenges of the AI era - and agentic AI multiplies the risk, as every new agent is both a force multiplier and fresh attack surface.
To help IT and security teams fight back, Cisco is reimagining how we secure networks, protect AI apps and models, manage identity, and equip security teams with the AI tools they need to meet the moment.
These updates aim to simplify policy management, enhance network visibility, and reduce complexity for security practitioners.
This will enable enterprises to address complexity and cost while providing the scalability required to match growing AI-related data center demands.
