Cisco in Security
As the threat landscape continues to expand and become more sophisticated, at Cisco, we have been focusing on building a comprehensive portfolio that ensures end-to-end security for organizations of all sizes. We are continuing to invest in AI and leverage our impressive set of security offerings to protect everything that's connected to an organization, from apps and services to end users. This enables us to provide security that's better for users, easier for IT, and optimized for DevOps, making things safer for everyone.

Through significant investments in cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are empowering security teams with simplified operations and heightened effectiveness. We've recently launched Cisco XDR, which is designed by SOC authorities, for SOC experts, to simplify security operations. The introduction of the security service edge (SSE) solution by Cisco enhances hybrid work experiences and simplifies access across diverse locations, devices, and applications. This combines unique level of user simplicity and IT efficiency for frictionless access to all applications (not some) with modern security that delights users and frustrates attackers.

Furthermore, Cisco is previewing the first generative AI capabilities within the Security Cloud, aiming to simplify security operations and increase efficiency. Moreover, new innovations across in Firewall, Multicloud, and Application Security, further deliver on Cisco's Security Cloud platform vision.
