LAS VEGAS \u2013 Anthropic Mythos put a spotlight on how agentic AI is changing the game for cybersecurity, causing enterprises to\u00a0<\/span>rethink how their security teams are structured<\/span>\u00a0and how they can prevent AI-based threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“AI changes the speed of defense. The bad corollary to that is it’s empowering our adversaries at a pace that we’ve never seen in our career,” said Chuck Robbins, CEO of Cisco, in a keynote Tuesday at Cisco Live.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While AI-based threats are on the rise, there’s also an opportunity to <\/span>use AI to thwart cybersecurity threats<\/span>. But in order to do so, enterprises will also need to overcome the “AI trust deficit,” according to Jeetu Patel, president and chief product officer for Cisco. “One of the biggest challenges people have with [AI] agents right now is they don’t trust it, and if you don’t trust it, you’re not going to delegate work to them to use them,” said Jeetu during his keynote Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solving the “AI trust deficit” will require observability across the entire AI stack, which includes achieving visibility and insights into application runtime and model performance, Patel explained. That requirement is easier stated than accomplished.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“AI agents are kind of like teenagers. They’re supremely intelligent, but they have no fear of consequence, and sometimes they do stupid stuff. So, you need to make sure that you can protect the world from them,” Patel said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cisco is working with other networking and technology companies to examine how enterprise customers can improve their cybersecurity strategies in the AI era. As part of\u00a0Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, Cisco was among the first 50 open source, networking, and cybersecurity companies tasked with testing the Anthropic Mythos AI model, which can both identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in…<\/span><\/p>\n
