AI is moving beyond chatbots.
The next wave is agentic: AI agents that can take action on behalf of users through trusted delegation. But scaling that innovation across the enterprise requires more than excitement—it requires control, security and visibility.
Jeetu Patel and DJ Sampath explore the shift from chatbots to agents and how Cisco Cloud Control is helping enterprises manage AI innovation with confidence.

These initiatives are so important to continue for the entire ecosystem to support. Thanks to @gdb and @OpenAI for your leadership here.
Always important to remember that the adversary, not our competitors, is the enemy. That means we should all have a bias towards transparency and coordination to keep everyone secure.
Love the emphasis on mobilizing a collective response. @Cisco is happy to be part of this effort.

Security is strongest when organizations collaborate openly and move quickly.
Now over 120 members strong, the Open Secure AI Alliance is sharing new open source security contributions, including new proposed SAFE guidelines, for turning confidential incident findings into stronger protection across the ecosystem.

The AI era demands that we defend together. Cisco is proud to join @NVIDIA and other industry leaders as a founding member of the Open Secure AI Alliance, a group committed to developing and sharing open technologies to safeguard software and agents.
Together, we’ll work to ensure defenders everywhere have open, frontier tools they can trust.
AI security advances when the industry builds in the open, together.
We're introducing the Open Secure AI Alliance with industry leaders to develop new techniques and tools to safeguard software and agents.
By sharing models, tooling and research in the open, we can broaden the community of defenders.

Finding vulnerabilities in code is one of the hardest problems in software. As an industry, we need multiple ways to identify and fix them.
That's why we're introducing the #Antares family of SLMs. Today we're making Antares-350M and Antares-1B available as open-weight models on @huggingface.
People have asked whether these models compete with frontier models. They don't.
Antares solves a different problem. It is purpose-built for security, and within security, specifically optimized for finding vulnerabilities in code. It gives customers a specialized model they can run at a lower cost, more control, and in environments where their code never has to leave their infrastructure.
Frontier models are extraordinary and will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible. We use them extensively and will continue to partner deeply with frontier labs.
Huge congratulations to the research team behind this work. @djsampath, @aminkarbasi & team, fantastic job on taking yet another step at keeping the world safe.
Security is a team sport. The more ways we can help developers find vulnerabilities before attackers do, the safer the entire ecosystem becomes.
Introducing Antares: @Cisco's family of small language models for locating known vulnerabilities in code.
Antares-350M and Antares-1B are live on Hugging Face now. They can outperform many larger closed- and open-weight models at a fraction of the cost.
Small enough to run locally. No shipping sensitive codebases to the cloud.
Why it matters: vulnerability triage is expensive and slow. Antares helps democratize AI-assisted security for all.

We are thrilled to share how @SoftBank uses our Foundation AI team’s Foundation-Sec-1.1-8B-Instruct model for their SOC workflow.
By categorize software into 17 policy-relevant groups, the model helps drive the workflow with policy verification and response actions.

For decades, security came at the expense of productivity. Jeetu Patel believes that trade-off is finally coming to an end.
As President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, @jpatel41 is focused on making trust the foundation of the AI era.
Autonomous agents are beginning to act on behalf of businesses, and the cost of a single error can have far-reaching consequences. As that risk grows, so does the need for a new kind of defense. Security has to evolve and operate at machine speed.
His conviction runs deeper: he believes AI’s true promise lies not in aggregating what we already know, but in generating insights that do not yet exist. These insights could transform how we treat critical diseases, manage risk, and defend nations.
@tech_mahindra and @Cisco have been building toward that future together across 5G, firewall modernization, and next-generation security.
Our collaboration continues, grounded in the balance between human judgment and AI-driven efficiency.
