In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we explore how Cisco is integrating security into AI deployment through the Secure AI Factory—a framework designed to ensure that innovation and protection evolve hand in hand.
Our experts unpack how the Secure AI Factory brings together security, observability, and AI infrastructure through modular AI pods, enabling organizations to build AI-ready environments with flexibility and confidence.
The conversation dives into Cisco’s validated design approach, collaboration with Talos for enhanced threat research and model safety, and the role of industry standards like ISO 42001 in shaping responsible AI deployment.
Listeners will also hear how configurable guardrails, unified management interfaces, and cross-team collaboration between IT and business units help prevent siloed AI projects and strengthen overall efficiency.
Whether you’re advancing AI adoption or refining your organization’s security posture, this episode highlights how Cisco is redefining AI security, governance, and trust for the future.

S12|E5 Strengthening Cybersecurity with Cisco XDR Automation
In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio, we explore how Cisco XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is transforming cybersecurity through automation and seamless integration with leading security tools. Our experts break down how Cisco XDR reduces alert fatigue, automates incident handling, and streamlines workflows to enhance security operations.
We also discuss how automation rules in XDR help prioritize incidents, integrate with tools like Splunk and CrowdStrike, and bridge the skill gap between junior and senior analysts. While there’s a learning curve, understanding basic programming and authentication concepts can help security professionals unlock the full potential of automation.
Want to see Cisco XDR in action? Learn how to start with DCloud instant demos or hands-on labs at DevNet (developer.cisco.com). Whether you're looking to improve efficiency, reduce manual tasks, or enhance threat detection, this episode is packed with insights to help you leverage automation for stronger security.
