Cisco, at the RSA Conference 2024, announced new industry shaping innovations across the Cisco Security Cloud to both power and protect the AI revolution. The new capabilities across Cisco’s unified, AI-driven, cross-domain security platform help companies better protect their applications, devices, users and data as well as detect, respond and recover faster from incidents.
Cisco is helping customers defend against the entire attack chain – from detecting and blocking not just known, but also unknown vulnerabilities with Cisco Hypershield, to stopping the increasing barrage of identity attacks with Cisco Duo, and reimagining the security operations center (SOC) with Splunk for security analysts to move faster and make more informed decisions with contextual insights and automated workflows.
The combination of Cisco and Splunk is the most comprehensive security solution for threat prevention, detection, investigation and response for organizations of any size, utilizing cloud, endpoint traffic - along with Cisco's unmatched network footprint - for unparalleled visibility. As Cisco and Splunk converge these platforms, there are many opportunities to advance security operations.
Building on last month’s launch of Cisco Hypershield with Distributed Exploit Protection protecting against known vulnerabilities (e.g. CVEs), Cisco is now introducing capabilities to detect and block attacks stemming from unknown vulnerabilities within runtime workload environments. In addition, suspected workloads can be isolated to limit the vulnerability's blast radius.
Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Security and Collaboration, Cisco
At the RSA Conference last year, we delivered enhanced customer efficacy and economics through a true platform approach to security with the Cisco Security Cloud. By minimizing point-solutions, customers have realized better end-to-end visibility, uncovered actionable intelligence and automation with AI and simplified management with Cisco’s unified security infrastructure. Since then, our security momentum continues to accelerate. With ‘zero to one’ innovation like Cisco Hypershield and strategic acquisitions like Splunk and Isovalent, the power of Cisco’s security platform is supercharged and unmatched.
John Hurley, Chief Revenue Officer, Optiv
At Optiv, we provide our clients the essential security expertise and solutions they need with an integrated approach that spans the entirety of their cybersecurity journey, all with a focus on accelerating their business outcomes. Cisco's integrated AI-driven platform, the Cisco Security Cloud, is a solution that helps reduce complexity. The integration of Cisco Xand Splunk Enterprise Security will enable our clients to operate efficiently while making informed decisions on how to bolster their cyber resiliency in today’s evolving threat landscape.

Cisco Duo is advancing past its core access management functions, incorporating identity enrichment from Cisco Identity Intelligence and introducing a streamlined access experience with Duo Passport. This evolution leads to Continuous Identity Security, where access adapts in real-time to the associated risk, crucial in today's threat landscape where identity-based attacks are on the rise. Cisco Duo's commitment to dynamic response to risk, coupled with an emphasis on seamless user experience, is not just timely-it's groundbreaking.
