Cisco has launched a new AI-focused security system named Hypershield following its $28 billion acquisition of Splunk. This strategic move is aimed at transforming Cisco into a data-first AI company, enhancing security across data centers and cloud platforms. The Hypershield technology, intended to 'completely reimagine' security in the AI age, is designed to improve visibility of software vulnerabilities and shift Cisco's security approach from a traditional 'fence' model to a more integrated 'fabric' model.
