\u00a0Ain Alalam – Rashad Iskandrni<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

February 10, 2026\u00a0\u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced a sweeping evolution of its security portfolio to help enterprises adopt agentic AI with confidence, combining agent protection, interaction governance, and resilient connectivity for AI-driven workflows.<\/p>\n

As organizations move from AI assistants to autonomous agents that use tools and data across hybrid environments, security teams need to strengthen agentic defenses, govern agent interactions with enterprise systems and external services, and\u00a0maintain\u00a0reliable, cryptographically protected connectivity at scale.<\/p>\n

“In the age of AI, safety and security are pre-requisites for adoption, and AI agents bring a whole new set of challenges,” said\u00a0Jeetu Patel, Cisco’s President and Chief Product Officer.<\/strong>\u00a0“As agents take on critical enterprise roles, we’re developing protections that work both ways: preventing agents from being compromised and controlling what they can access and do on our behalf.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Protect agents from compromise, manipulation, and poisoned tooling\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agentic AI innovations have expanded the attack surface across AI supply chains and the tool ecosystem. Enterprises need protections that reduce the risk of\u00a0agents being\u00a0manipulated, or hijacked, including during tool interactions.<\/p>\n

In the biggest expansion since its\u00a0January 2025 launch<\/a>, Cisco AI Defense delivers new features to better secure agents and the AI supply chain. These features include:<\/p>\n
