Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego showcased Cisco’s strategic vision for the coming era, centered on

the rise of AI and the need for fundamentally new approaches to networking and security.

Cisco executives emphasized that we are entering the “agentic AI” era – a time when AI agents,

bots, and autonomous applications will work alongside humans. This shift demands reimagining

network architecture to handle unprecedented scales of data, automation, and security

challenges.

Cisco’s vision is to meet this challenge by unifying platforms and embedding intelligence across

its portfolio, so networks can be more adaptive, secure, and easier to operate in the AI-driven

future.
