melbourne, australia, December 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — cisco live — Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), a leader in enterprise networking and security, today announced Cisco AI Assistant for Security. This is a major step toward pervasive artificial intelligence (AI) in Security Cloud, Cisco’s unified, AI-driven, cross-domain security platform. AI assistants help customers make informed decisions, enhance tool functionality, and automate complex tasks.
“To be an AI-first company, you must be a data-first company. Cisco is a unique company that delivers cybersecurity solutions that allow enterprises to operate with confidence at machine scale with pervasive native telemetry. “It strengthens what humans can do on their own.” Jeethu PatelExecutive Vice President and General Manager of Security and Collaboration, Cisco. “Today’s announcement is a monumental step forward. This advancement shifts the game in favor of defenders, allowing us to provide our customers with AI broadly built across the Cisco Security Cloud.”
As cyberattacks continue to evolve, an organization’s defenses must also evolve. Ransomware and extortion attacks continue to occur at a steady pace, accounting for 20% of Cisco Talos incident response operations this year, according to the new Cisco Talos. Looking back at 2023 report. Talos also observed an increase in sophisticated attacks against networking devices last year, particularly by state-sponsored attackers. The increasing speed and sophistication of malicious attackers necessitates the deployment of machine-scale defenses.
With unparalleled visibility across our network and security, Cisco leverages more machine-driven telemetry at scale than most companies in the industry. The new Cisco AI Assistant for Security is trained on one of the world’s largest security-focused datasets, analyzing more than 550 billion security events daily across web, email, endpoints, networks, and applications. Understand event triage, impact and scope, root cause analysis, and policy design. Using this data, the AI assistant aims to bridge the gap between cybersecurity intentions and outcomes. All of Cisco’s AI capabilities are built securely and Cisco Responsible AI Framework.
Continuing our rapid pace of innovation, today we are introducing:
- AI assistant for firewall policies: Cisco AI Assistant for Security will initially run within Firewall Management Center and Cisco Defense Orchestrator, delivered in the Cisco cloud, to solve the big challenge of configuring and maintaining complex policies and firewall rules. Administrators can now discover policies and get rule recommendations using natural language. This eliminates duplicate rules, misconfigured policies, and complex workflows, increasing visibility and speeding troubleshooting and configuration tasks.
- AI-powered crypto visibility engine for all firewall models: Today, most data center traffic is encrypted, and the inability to inspect encrypted traffic is a key security concern. Decrypting traffic for inspection is resource-intensive and involves operational, privacy, and compliance issues. With the 7.4.1 operating system now available across the Cisco Secure Firewall family, customers can take AI even further through an encrypted visibility engine.. The Encrypted Visibility Engine leverages billions of samples, including sandboxed malware samples, to determine whether encrypted traffic is carrying malware. Know which operating system your traffic is coming from and which client applications are generating it, all without decrypting it.
“The ability of AI to transform the landscape of our daily lives and professions is immense. As a long-time Cisco partner, we are excited about the new Cisco AI Assistant for Security and how it will help our customers deliver AI-driven efficiency. “We’re excited about what we have to offer.” graham robinsonChief Technology Officer, Data #3. “The introduction of AI Assistant to Cisco Firewall Management Center enables customers to quickly and easily configure policy changes. Combined with the new features and crypto visibility engine in the 7.4.1 software release, it is a truly compelling It provides a great overall experience.”
