AI Era Demands Secure Networks That Balance Speed and Trust
The rise of AI has transformed networking requirements, as organizations now need to manage massive amounts of data while maintaining security and reliability. According to Cisco's research, tasks performed by AI agents can generate up to 450% more network traffic than traditional user-driven workflows, with approximately 70% attributed to AI inference.
To meet this challenge, infrastructure must move unprecedented volumes of data across campuses, metro networks, data centers, and cloud environments. This requires a platform approach that brings together silicon, optics, systems, and software, with security fused into every layer.
Cisco is building a networking platform that helps customers gain greater value from their network investments by simplifying operations and accelerating innovation. As AI traffic scales across networks, securing that traffic becomes just as important as transporting it.
