Companies can prove almost every line on the P&L.
Real estate is the exception — still managed on a guess, until now.
The modernized site finally gives leaders data about their biggest physical asset.
Here more from Christian Bigsby on this from the show floor at Cisco Live.
Standalone networking is dead ☠️
AI-driven threats and distributed environments have changed the reality of networking. If your network isn't secure at every layer, it isn't viable.
For years, IT teams built the network first and bolted on security later. That approach now guarantees risk — fragmentation, blind spots, and a threat surface in every router, switch, and access point.
Join us to see why security must live inside the network itself, and how to embed protection across every connection without sacrificing performance.

We are entering a "network supercycle."
At #CiscoLive, leadership highlighted how the shift from standard chatbots to autonomous agentic AI is fundamentally changing infrastructure demands. Because AI agents operate at machine speed 24/7, they generate an average of 450% more traffic than humans—pushing network traffic to potentially triple over the next three years.
To meet this wave, Cisco is focusing on a deeply integrated, secure stack—from Silicon One data center platforms to their new Cloud Control platform—ensuring that "action control" and robust security guardrails are baked directly into the network.

Historically, the solution to alert fatigue has been to simply reduce the volume of notifications.
But what if an AI agent could process the entire stream for you?
Cisco's GM for Campus Networking, Michael Dickman, explores how agentic AI goes beyond traditional automation, fundamentally changing how we approach operational workflows.

"Humans click, but agents swarm." 🚀
That reality check from #CiscoLive captures the massive shift in enterprise tech. As autonomous AI agents take over, machine-generated traffic will soon vastly outpace human data—demanding a brand-new approach to networking.
To handle this surge, Cisco is shifting away from fragmented tools toward an integrated, platform-first strategy.
Cisco Cloud Control: A unified dashboard bringing campus, data center, and security together, making AI-driven automated troubleshooting the new operations default.
Cisco IQ: A real-time inventory tool that completely kills the "era of spreadsheet guesswork" by automatically mapping every network asset and vulnerability.

The rapid rise of AI is expected to triple network capacity demand over the next three years. For telecom companies, this shift represents a major revenue opportunity—if they can look beyond basic connectivity.
At #CiscoLive, Cisco leadership highlighted how telcos can monetize their central offices as edge data centers for AI inferencing. Because Cisco understands the enterprise customer, the company is aiming to partner with service providers to bridge this gap. Platforms like Cisco's new Cloud Control can offer telcos the ready-made security, management, and observability stack needed to deliver true enterprise-grade AI services.
