Cisco unveiled Cisco Cloud Control at the Cisco Live 2026 conference. This unified platform manages and secures IT infrastructure designed for collaboration between human operators and AI agents. The system addresses the specific security and complexity challenges posed by AI agents acting as digital coworkers.
The platform offers a single interface for networking, security, and observability across enterprise systems. The Live Protect feature shields products from new vulnerabilities at runtime without requiring downtime. Additional tools provide discovery and access control for AI agents.
Cisco committed to making the majority of its core portfolio quantum-safe. The company set a deadline of December 2026 for this transition to counter future threats.
