Splunk and cisco unveil a suite of innovations

"What if you could see every corner of your AI powered systems, predict issues before they arise, and deliver seamless digital experiences, all while fortifying your cybersecurity defenses? Splunk and Cisco are bringing that outcome within reach through a suite of platform, observability, and security advancements that help teams move faster with confidence in an agentic AI world. The shared objective is straightforward."

"The collaboration centers on turning data into resilient operations. As enterprises modernize applications and adopt AI agents, complexity increases and blind spots multiply. The new capabilities from Splunk and Cisco are designed to remove those gaps. They bring together operational telemetry, security context, and user behavior insights in a way that is easier to deploy in highly regulated and distributed environments, including sovereign cloud and compliance driven settings."

"At the heart of the announcement is progress across the Splunk Platform. Splunk is introducing hosted AI models that provide out of the box analytics and reasoning, predictive alerting, and anomaly detection. By pairing curated models with an organizations data, teams can accelerate time to insight without heavy integration or model management overhead. These models are complemented by the Splunk Model Context Protocol, commonly called MCP, which is now generally available."

Splunk and Cisco offer platform, observability, and security advancements to help teams move faster with confidence in an agentic AI world. The collaboration focuses on turning data into resilient operations and removing blind spots created by modernized applications and AI agents. Splunk introduces hosted AI models for out-of-the-box analytics, reasoning, predictive alerting, and anomaly detection. The Splunk Model Context Protocol (MCP) is now generally available to let AI systems securely access Splunk capabilities via a standardized approach. A native Splunk integration with Cisco Nexus One is planned for March to enable telemetry analysis within operational boundaries.
