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.
Whether you’re advancing AI adoption or refining your organization’s security posture, this episode highlights how Cisco is redefining AI security, governance, and trust for the future.

S12|E4 Revolutionizing Network Design through Cisco Agile Services Networking
In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we dive into Cisco's groundbreaking efforts to simplify network architecture and streamline the future of networking. The discussion focuses on the evolution of network design, from the collapse of transponders into routers in routed optical networking to the benefits of adopting coherent optics and segment routing.
We explore how Cisco's Crosswork automation solutions are driving efficiency in network management with features like multi-vendor support and automation for inventory, service provisioning, and assurance. Cisco's revolutionary Silicon One is also highlighted, showcasing its ability to reduce cost, footprint, and chip variants while enabling seamless integration of new functionality across networks.
In addition, we look at the platform Cisco offers for hosting apps on iOS XR devices, including advanced security features like Edge Protect for DDoS mitigation, and how AI-driven traffic decisions are shaping the future of network performance.
