Cisco has quickly developed deep agentic AI integrations across its networking, security and observability products, along with a renewed focus on customer experience.
At last week’s Cisco Live event in San Diego, the IT and OT infrastructure giant showcased the development of deep agentic AI integrations across its broad portfolio of networking, cybersecurity and observability offerings — with a renewed focus on customer experience. I have had the opportunity to participate in many of the company’s past events around the world, but this year’s conference could be considered historic given the payload of substantive announcements.
Not surprisingly, day one outlined Cisco’s continued progression with modern AI into agentic functionality, from both connectivity and security perspectives. Jeetu Patel, the company’s chief product officer who was recently promoted to president, articulated a pragmatic approach that focuses on AI-ready datacenters, future-proofed workplaces and digital resilience created by infusing security controls into the company’s network infrastructure portfolio.
I also had the opportunity to spend time with senior vice president DJ Sampath, who leads Cisco’s AI Software and Platform organization. What I find noteworthy about his team’s efforts is the rapid development cycle that brought AgenticOps to market so quickly — in less than one year. As a former product marketer, I can tell you that is a significant achievement by any measure, and it’s one that continues to feed Cisco’s innovation engine under Patel’s leadership.
A new unified fabric experience that has evolved from Cisco’s UCS platform and is aimed to further strengthen Cisco’s network and security capabilities — while also complementing its Nexus cloud management control plane. From my perspective, these capabilities help flatten network management via a single pane of glass across Cisco’s diverse set of infrastructure solutions.
