In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we explore how Cisco is integrating security into AI deployment through the Secure AI Factory—a framework designed to ensure that innovation and protection evolve hand in hand.
Our experts unpack how the Secure AI Factory brings together security, observability, and AI infrastructure through modular AI pods, enabling organizations to build AI-ready environments with flexibility and confidence.
The conversation dives into Cisco’s validated design approach, collaboration with Talos for enhanced threat research and model safety, and the role of industry standards like ISO 42001 in shaping responsible AI deployment.
Listeners will also hear how configurable guardrails, unified management interfaces, and cross-team collaboration between IT and business units help prevent siloed AI projects and strengthen overall efficiency.
