Cisco announced innovations across the Cisco Security Cloud across its unified, AI-driven, cross-domain security platform aiming to help companies protect their applications, devices, users, and data through incident detection, response, and recovery.
Challenging traditional norms
According to the 2024 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index, almost 90% of companies globally reported the shortage of cybersecurity talent amid more sophisticated attacks as a real issue in defending themselves against cyber incidents, highlighting the need to challenge conventional cyber defense methods.
"At the RSA Conference last year, we delivered enhanced customer efficacy and economics through a true platform approach to security with the Cisco Security Cloud. By minimising point solutions, customers have realised
better end-to-end visibility, uncovered actionable intelligence and automation with AI, and simplified management with Cisco's unified security.
infrastructure," said Jeetu Patel, executive vice president, and general manager for Security and Collaboration at Cisco. "Since then, our security momentum has continued to accelerate. With 'zero to one' innovation like Cisco
Hypershield and strategic acquisitions like Splunk and Isovalent, the power of Cisco's security platform is supercharged and unmatched."
The SOC of the Future
Cisco and Splunk offer a comprehensive security solution for threat prevention, detection, investigation, and response utilizing cloud, endpoint traffic, and visibility. The convergence of Cisco and Splunk aims to integrateCisco Extended Detection & Response (XDR) with Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and utilise Splunk Asset and Risk Intelligence, and Cisco AI Assistant for Security in XDR.
It also provides new cloud detection and response capabilities through AI and ML-powered Cisco’s Panoptica cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) for the detection of emerging threats within cloud applications in real time.
