Cisco Live Showcases Essential Tools for AI’s Next Frontier
San Diego, CA – June 16, 2025 — At this year’s Cisco Live, the tech giant unveiled a suite of AI-driven innovations designed to reshape networking, security, and IT operations. With AI adoption accelerating across industries, Cisco is positioning itself as a key player in agentic AI, a new paradigm where intelligent AI agents autonomously manage complex workflows.
AI-Powered Networking Takes Center Stage
One of the most anticipated announcements was the Cisco Deep Network Model, a large language model (LLM) built specifically for networking. Fine-tuned on decades of Cisco expertise, this model enhances troubleshooting, automation, and configuration tasks, making network management more efficient.
Cisco also introduced AI Canvas, a generative AI dashboard that enables IT teams to collaborate across domains, visualize network issues in real time, and execute corrective actions seamlessly.
Security Innovations for the AI Era
With AI-driven cyber threats on the rise, Cisco is doubling down on security. The company showcased its Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), designed to fortify enterprise defenses against AI-powered attacks.
“AI is transforming security—both for defenders and attackers,” said Jeetu Patel, Cisco’s Chief Product Officer. “We’re embedding AI deeper into our security stack to ensure enterprises stay ahead of evolving threats.”
The Future of AI-Ready Infrastructure
Cisco’s AI-Ready Data Centers are built to support the next wave of AI workloads. The company announced deeper integration with NVIDIA’s Spectrum-X architecture, making Cisco the first non-NVIDIA switch provider to work seamlessly with NVIDIA’s AI networking solutions.
As AI reshapes industries, Cisco is betting big on agentic AI, positioning itself as a leader in AI-driven IT operations. With innovations spanning networking, security, and infrastructure, Cisco Live 2025 signals a bold new era for enterprise AI.
