Cisco has expanded its partnership with Nvidia to enhance its AI Defense and Hypershield security platforms. By tapping into Nvidia AI, these platforms can now provide visibility, validation, and runtime protection across entire AI workflows. This integration aims to offer enterprise customers developing AI applications with high-performance, scalable, and trustworthy AI responses.
The Cisco Security Cloud App for Splunk now supports Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense, enhancing correlation and detection content for threat detection, investigation, and response workflows. With telemetry from various Cisco sources, Splunk can accelerate detection use cases across hybrid environments. Additionally, extended security orchestration, automation, and response details now include Cisco Secure Firewall-specific actions to support containment and response within workflows, reducing manual effort and accelerating resolution.
Furthermore, the recently introduced Cisco Secure AI Factory with Nvidia package integrates Cisco security and networking technology with Nvidia DPUs and storage options from leading providers. This collaboration aims to safeguard every stage of the AI lifecycle, enabling enterprises to confidently deploy AI at scale. Cisco Hypershield will also collaborate with Nvidia BlueField DPUs and the Nvidia DOCA Argus framework to bring pervasive, distributed security and real-time threat detection to every node of the AI infrastructure.
