    We’ve spent years building security controls for humans, but what happens when the "user" is an AI agent acting at machine speed? Agent adoption is moving fast; they don't just query systems; they act on them. They authenticate, access data, and make decisions in real time. Identity is already the #1 thing attackers go after—agentic workloads make that problem significantly harder. I've spent a lot of time working on this over the past year, covering the intersection of SASE, Zero Trust, and Identity for the agentic workforce with some fantastic colleagues.

    You've seen the tip of the Mythos iceberg. We'll show you what's beneath it. Frontier models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber are changing what defenders and attackers can find, connect, and act on. Cisco has seen what this shift means for the infrastructure the world runs on. We need a new operating model for resilient infrastructure - and we need it in months. Get a unique perspective from the center of critical infrastructure and leave with a clear resilience action plan in the era of AI-speed risk.

    The topic of agentic security was a very big one at RSAC Conference this year. The conversation was split between safe and secure agentic AI enablement for the enterprise (and consumers), and the agentic enablement of threat actors armed with a new generation of AI tools. The second part of my conversation with Rajneesh C., SVP and CPO of Cisco Security, touched on the crisis of trust that we face, and the framework that Cisco is contributing openly to help foster safe, enterprise grade GenAI and agentic AI applications. I highly encourage you watch. Raj does a great job of outlining a holistic blueprint that Cisco is working off for safe agentic AI and enterprise GenAI. Bottom line, Getting to safe agentic AI is a journey with many twists and chasms along the way. We are in the early rounds facing a threat environment that is highly fluid and moving at machine speed. It will take a mindset of safe AI innovation that preemptively injects what Raj calls "common sense" in lieu of lagging best practices to meet the challenges and threats of fast-evolving AI-assisted cyberattacks. Remember to follow neXt Curve for the agentic security insights and analysis that matter.

    Join us for a 30-minute broadcast as we reveal how Cisco extends its industry‑leading Zero Trust architecture to secure the agentic AI workforce.    We will unpack new capabilities to enable secure, accountable operation of AI agents under strict safety and access controls. Gain the confidence to deploy your AI agents and unlock a new era of productivity and innovation- without compromising your security posture.    Agentic AI is set to transform the workforce, effectively scaling the impact of 8 billion people to the equivalent of 80 billion. However, as AI transitions from simply answering questions to taking autonomous actions, we must close the trust gap. We need to ensure that these agents do not go rogue, expose sensitive data, or perform unsafe actions.   Join Kevin Kennedy, VP of Product Marketing for Security, and Matt Caulfield, VP of Product for Identity, as they explore how securing the new agentic workforce means that we both need to protect agents from the world to prevent them from being compromised or tricked, and protect the world from agents to ensure they do not disrupt the business with unpredictable actions. Special guest Anahi Santiago, CISO of ChristianaCare, will share insights on the real‑world challenges with using and securing AI and agentic AI workflows.

    “Your next employee might not be human… and your security strategy isn’t ready for it.” At RSAC, I spoke to Tom Gillis, SVP & GM of Infrastructure & Security Group at Cisco on The Ravit Show, and the conversation quickly moved beyond the usual AI hype into something much more real. We talked about agentic AI not just as a tool, but as a system that can act on its own, make decisions, and operate across enterprise data. That shift is forcing a complete rethink of security, because traditional models were built around humans, not autonomous agents. One thing that stood out was how security teams have always played it safe, often defaulting to “no,” but with agentic AI, that mindset becomes a bottleneck. The real challenge now is enabling this new layer of intelligence without losing control. We also unpacked what it really means to secure an “agentic workforce.” If every employee starts running multiple AI agents, each acting independently, the attack surface grows overnight. So do we start treating these agents like endpoints? Do they need identities, permissions, and governance just like humans? And if that’s the case, how do SOC teams even deal with the explosion of alerts and signals? What I found interesting is that this is not some distant future problem, it is already showing up, and companies like Cisco are actively working through how to design security systems that can keep up. This conversation made one thing very clear to me. The AI conversation is no longer about models or capabilities. It is about control, trust, and how we rethink security for a world where humans are no longer the only actors inside the enterprise. #data #ai #rsac #cisco #theravitshow

    Last month, we published the Race to Agentic AI report with Omdia. This week at RSA, Jeetu Patel laid out Cisco's security strategy for the agentic workforce. The timing wasn't a coincidence. Our research found that 85% of enterprises have AI agent pilots underway. Only 5% have moved agents into production. That gap isn't about the technology falling short. It's about trust. Sixty-two percent of the executives we surveyed told us they're struggling with the fundamentals: protecting networks from AI-driven attacks, managing agent identities, and securing data in motion. The bottleneck isn't capability. It's trust. At RSA, Jeetu reframed security as the accelerator. Protect agents from the world. Protect the world from agents. Detect and respond at machine speed. That framing resonated because it maps directly to what customers are telling us and what 650 executives confirmed in our research. I sat down with Zeus Kerravala from ZK Research to dig into this, with Casey Corman moderating. One theme kept surfacing: the organizations pulling ahead invested in infrastructure and security together, not sequentially. Eighty percent of executives believe agentic AI will be essential for competitive survival by 2027. The research tells us the foundation has to come first.

    Exciting news! Cisco AI Defense is excited to be a launch partner for Agent Control, a new open standard designed to govern the runtime behavior of AI agents As enterprises transition autonomous agents into production, this partnership replaces fragmented, "hard-coded" security with a centralized control plane. By integrating Cisco's enterprise-grade guardrails directly into the Agent Control ecosystem, organizations can now enforce consistent security policies, prevent PII / data leakage, and mitigate risks in real-time-all without modifying a single line of agent code. Deploy autonomous agents with total confidence and visibility. #AgentControl #EnterpriseAI #Cybersecurity

    Every agent your team ships has its own hardcoded guardrails, its own bespoke logic, its own failure modes. That's not governance. These brittle controls soon become a liability. Galileo is proud to announce the open-source launch of Agent Control 🚀 Agent Control is the open-source control plane that solves for the open, centralized governance needs for all your AI Agents. 💬 "We've had a front-row seat to agent development at Fortune 500 and digital-native companies. They have been struggling to hard-code safety rules and controls into each agent which makes them brittle. With Agent Control, developers can now create policies in one place and then use those to enforce guardrails everywhere." — Yash Sheth, Co-founder & CTO, Galileo Agent Control integrates seamlessly with all your agents using the @control hook or just by leveraging our native integrations with some of the leading agent frameworks. No redeployment. No code changes. No vendor lock-in. 💬 “Centralized management of policies can help organizations to manage AI agent behaviors. A unified control plane and centralized governance of agents can help organizations efficiently deploy AI agents at scale. Organizations that embrace eval engineering as a core competency will shorten the time to value for their AI investments. By taking a lifecycle approach, organizations can achieve a continuous improvement loop for AI systems.” – Tim Law, IDC Research Director, AI and Automation Agent Control is already backed by partners including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cisco AI Defense, CrewAI, Glean, ServiceNow, and Rubrik, and it works with the guardrail providers you already use, from our Luna models to NVIDIA NeMo or AWS Bedrock. The repo is live, built in the open with contributions from some of the largest AI infrastructure companies in the world. Try it out today: https://agentcontrol.dev/ Watch Yash walk through how it works in the video below, and check the comments for links to our launch webinar, announcement blog, and full press release. 👇
