In June of 2022 at the RSA Conference, we announced our vision for the Cisco Security Cloud Platform.
Since the announcement, we've been working hard to deliver, and the core of what we've accomplished has been rooted in how we can bring simplicity to security, and simplicity for our customers.
We delivered Cisco Secure Access, a cloud-delivered security service edge solution, grounded in zero trust, that provides our customers exceptional user experience and protected access from any device to anywhere.
We simplified how customers can procure tightly integrated solutions from us with our first set of Security Suites that are powered by AI, built on zero trust principles, and delivered by our Security Cloud platform.
We have taken a major step in making artificial intelligence pervasive in the Security Cloud with the new Cisco AI Assistant for Security, and introduction of our AI Assistant for Firewall Policy.
It's a well-known fact that within security industry, every time there is a new problem, there would be a cluster of security companies that spring up to solve that problem.
This whac-a-mole approach can certainly challenge efficiency but it puts the burden on the customer to constantly deploy a new vendor, a new tool, and manage siloed data.
This has created fatigue among security practitioners and increased interdependencies, blind spots, and unpredictability as evidenced by the eye-opening data from Gartner showing that 75% of organizations today are pursuing security vendor consolidation.
Customers should not have to spend time deciphering what products they need in order to solve their specific security challenges.
What's crucial to our success is to listen to the voice of our customers, which is a powerful force in helping us steer in the right direction.
We always appreciate candid feedback we get from customers.
The Road Ahead. As we mentioned at launch, fulfilling the Security Cloud vision is a multi-year commitment and journey.
Working closely with our customers to prioritize customer-found defects or security vulnerabilities as we develop new features.
In general, security efficacy continues to be one of our top objectives for Cisco Security engineering.
Harnessing the incredible power and potential of generative AI technology to revolutionize threat response and simplify security policy management.
With Oort's identity-centric technology, we will enhance user context telemetry and incorporate their capabilities across our portfolio, including our Duo Identity Access Management technology and Extended Detection and Response portfolios.
Leveraging our cloud-native expertise and decades of on-premises experience to reimagine and redefine how security appliances are deployed and used.
We are making big moves, and our Cisco Security Cloud journey continues.
Our vision is realized through innovation, and innovation comes from new technology, new concepts for mature technologies, and new ways to build, buy or use our capabilities.
Stay tuned on more news from us as we continue to deliver some of the most exciting innovation areas for Cisco and the security industry at large.
