Security News > 2023 > June > Cisco LIVE 2023: AI and security platforms innovations take center stage

At its LIVE 2023 event in Las Vegas this week, Cisco revealed an array of solutions, paving stones on its path to a platform strategy called Cisco Security Cloud.

In an interview with TechRepublic about Cisco LIVE 2023, Patel said the new technologies addressed a need to simplify security operations and address security considerations caused by the shift to hybrid work.

A key focus at Cisco LIVE was its approach to simplifying authorization and access through a new security service edge solution, designed to enable hybrid work experiences and simplify access across any location, device and application.

Cisco revealed a new AI system designed to automate security policies across numerous interfaces.

Cisco said the generative AI SOC Assistant is designed to lighten the load on endemically understaffed security teams by parsing alerts across the Cisco Security Cloud platform, and making natural language recommendations on whether to act upon issues as they arise.

Cisco, which is previewing a generative AI solution for Webex at Cisco LIVE 2023, said AI summaries for Webex, policy management and SOC Assistant will be available by the end of 2023, with additional SOC Assistant features available in the first half of 2024.
