Cisco Cloud Control is now generally available for U.S. customers. 🎉
More than 300 customers are already onboarded, and the global pre-GA waitlist surpassed 5,000 sign-ups.
See how Cisco Cloud Control connects visibility, AI, collaboration, and action to create a simpler, smarter operating experience across the portfolio: https://t.co/oFIgRzDg1w
Alignment without context integrity is not safety.
An AI agent can faithfully follow its instructions and still be dangerous if its understanding of reality is wrong.
Anthropic recently disclosed that Claude models gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three organizations during cybersecurity evaluations.
The agents had been told they were operating in a simulation with no internet access. But a configuration mistake gave them access to the live internet.
They treated real production systems as part of the exercise and kept pursuing the goal they had been given.
OpenAI separately disclosed that models found a previously unknown vulnerability, escaped an isolated evaluation environment and compromised Hugging Face.
These were not simply failures of intelligence.
The deeper problem was that the agents were acting inside a false understanding of reality.
We have spent years asking whether an AI system will follow our instructions.
We now also need to ask whether it correctly understands the environment in which those instructions are being executed.
This creates a new security requirement.
Context integrity.
Before an agent acts, the system must continuously verify where it is, which resources are in scope, whose authority it carries, what it is allowed to do, and when that authority expires. Just in time permission for every action. At just the right time. For just enough time. Assessed in real time.
Those facts cannot live only inside a prompt. They must be verified and enforced by the infrastructure around the model.
A prompt is not a security boundary.
Zero trust taught us to never trust identity and always verify access. And provide least privileged access.
Agentic AI adds another dimension.
Never blindly trust context. Continuously verify reality.
The next security perimeter is not just the agent’s identity.
It is the agent’s understanding of reality. The most dangerous agent may not be misaligned. It may simply be mistaken. And in an agentic world, a false belief can become a real breach.
Today is a massive milestone for @Cisco and the future of quantum networks, as we announce our Universal Quantum Switch. This first-of-its-kind working research prototype is designed for interoperability, speed, and real-world environments, made possible by a Cisco-patented conversion engine. @Vijoy and team - you should be incredibly proud of what it took to get here. Excited for what’s ahead as we build the network layer for the quantum era!

79% of companies use gen AI in at least one function. But supply chain and manufacturing are still in the single digits.
The gap between where AI is being used and where it could unlock the most value is exactly where leaders are focusing now. https://t.co/hDNxeevePT
New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.
We demonstrated verifiable quantum advantage with Quantum Echoes. Running 13,000x faster than leading supercomputers, this represents a significant step toward real-world applications. Watch → https://t.co/3WJWnISWZr
#Viral | El fotógrafo de naturaleza Juan Camilo Quintero registró en video al Barbudito Paramuno (Oxypogon guerinii), un colibrí exclusivo de los páramos andinos de Colombia. La rareza y belleza del avistamiento lo convirtieron en tendencia en redes sociales.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”
Congratulations to Michel Devoret, Chief Scientist at @GoogleQuantumAI, John Martinis, former hardware leader at @GoogleQuantumAI, and John Clarke on winning the @NobelPrize in Physics! The history of quantum computing is unfolding before our eyes ↓ https://t.co/AY9LJnfNjK
El secreto está en ejecutar eficientemente. En costos y tiempo. Si te toma una vida ejecutar algo, es como que no sabes lo que haces o encontraron una mina de oro (corrupción), de ahí en adelante sinceramente las cosas van a ir mal, y eso aplica para todos ciudadanos o mineros.
@EnriquePenalosa@MetroDeBogota sólo que tardo mucho en llegar no? Ahora contigo o los que vienen si se arregla todo? Tenemos un déficit en ejecutar eficazmente sea el que sea el desarrollo debería ser prioritario.
