3. Cisco AI and Cisco Cloud Control with Jeetu Patel and DJ Sampath by Cisco
Jeetu, Tom Gillis, Kevin Wollenweber, and Will Eatherton discuss why the "AI revolution" is fundamentally a networking challenge and how Cisco has evolved its portfolio to serve as backbone for the next generation of enterprise intelligence. By aligning our networking, compute, and security innovations, we are providing our customers with the foundation they need to move from experimentation to production at scale.
Reimagining Cisco Security with Jeetu Patel and Peter Bailey by Cisco
Jeetu Patel and Kamal Hathi dive into how the addition of Splunk to the Cisco family is about more than just portfolio expansion; it's about providing our customers with the most comprehensive platform for security and observability in the industry. By breaking down the barriers between the network and the data that runs on it, our customers can operate with unprecedented speed, confidence, and clarity.
Jeetu Patel, Nick, and Mohammad delve into our custom silicon strategy. While many see networking as a software-driven game, we discuss why many of the most significant breakthroughs are happening at the physical layer. We explore how Cisco's unique approach to co-designing silicon alongside our software and systems portfolio is creating a level of performance and efficiency that simply cannot be achieved with off-the-shelf components.
Jeetu Patel, Matt Caufield and DJ Sampath tackle the shift toward a landscape where AI agents are no longer just assisting humans but are actively executing critical security tasks. As these agents take on more autonomy, the traditional pillars of cybersecurity, particularly identity, must undergo a radical evolution to ensure that our automated defenses remain both powerful and trustworthy.
Jeetu Patel and Guru Shenoy discuss the evolution of how Cisco is working with some of its largest and most innovative customers as they transform to address the challenges and opportunities of AI.
As enterprise environments become increasingly distributed and complex, the volume of telemetry data has outpaced human capacity to analyze it. This has been future compounded by the challenges of tokenomics. Jeetu Patel sits down with the founders of Galileo to discuss how we are moving beyond passive dashboards toward a future of autonomous, intelligent agents that can reason through system issues in real time.
Jeetu Patel, Cisco president and chief product officer, talks about an upcoming AI tool named '"Antares" that will be used to hunt down software bugs and protect sensitive customer data. He also talks about the recent security breach at Hugging Face by OpenAI models and how companies can protect themselves. Patel speaks with Bloomberg's Jonathan Ferro, Annmarie Hordern, and Lisa Abromowicz on Bloomberg Surveillance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Anthropic has warned about the next phase of 'recursive AI', where agents could become capable enough to build and train models themselves without human intervention. The idea is that “self-improving” armies of agents could create purely AI-run, zero-person companies that optimise while you're sleeping. If that's the story in Silicon Valley, in the UK Katie is at London Tech Week, where everyone from Prime Minister Keir Starmer to AMD's Lisa Su is focused on tech sovereignty and the question of who owns, controls and shapes AI, not just how fast the technology is advancing. Plus, Cisco's Jeetu Patel joins Danny and Katie to discuss the potentially catastrophic consequences of the agentic era for cybersecurity, and share his insights on the trillion-dollar IPOs potentially coming from OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic.Is Britain losing the AI race?

Most companies say they are “doing AI.” Very few are actually ready for it. In my new episode of The Ravit Show, I sat down with Simon Miceli, Managing Director, Cisco, who leads Cloud and AI Infrastructure across Asia Pacific, Japan, and Greater China. He sits right where big AI ambitions meet the hard reality of networks, security, and technical debt.This conversation builds on my earlier episode with Jeetu Patel, President and CPO Cisco and goes deeper into what it really takes to get AI working in production in APJC.Here are a few themes we unpacked:-- Only a small group is truly AI ready- Cisco's latest AI Readiness Index shows that just a small percentage of organizations globally are able to turn AI into real business value. Cisco calls them “Pacesetters.”- They are not just running pilots. They have use cases in production and are seeing returns.-- We are entering the agentic phase of AI- Simon talked about how we are moving from simple chatbots to AI agents that can take action.- That shift changes everything for infrastructure.- Instead of short bursts of activity, you now have systems that are always working in the background, automating processes and touching real operations.-- AI infrastructure debt is the new technical debt*- Many organizations are carrying years of compromises in their networks, data centers, and security.- Simon called this “AI infrastructure debt” and described how it quietly slows down innovation, increases costs, and makes it harder to scale AI safely.-- Network as a foundation, not an afterthought- One of his strongest points: leaders often think first about compute, but the companies that are ahead treat the network as the base layer for AI.- When workloads double, your network can become the bottleneck before your GPUs do. - The Pacesetters are already investing to make their networks “AI ready” and integrating AI deeply with both network and cloud.Three things leaders must fix in the next 2–3 yearsSimon shared a very clear checklist for CIOs and business leaders who are serious about agentic AI: 1. Solve for power before it becomes a constraint 2. Treat deployment as day one and keep optimizing models after they go live 3. Build security into the infrastructure from the start so it accelerates innovation instead of blocking itThis was a very honest, no-nonsense view of where APJC really stands on AI, and what the leading organizations are doing differently!!!!Thank you Simon for joining me and sharing how Cisco is thinking about AI infrastructure across the region.#data #ai #cisco #CiscoLiveAPJC #Sponsored #CiscoPartner #TheRavitShow
These are some of the most exciting times to be in AI. And some leaders are not just watching the shift. They are building it. Excited to share, I sat down with Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, for a conversation I have been wanting to do for a long time. Cisco is right in the middle of AI, networking, security, and data, and this interview felt like a front row seat to how the next decade is being shaped.In this episode of The Ravit Show, we spoke about:- The key AI trends Jeetu is seeing right now and how he explains Cisco's AI vision- What being at the intersection of networking, security, and data allows Cisco to do with AI that most pure AI companies cannot- How AI adoption in Asia Pacific, Japan, Greater China, and India looks different from North America and Europe- Why India is so important to Cisco, both as a market and as a serious talent hub- The early career moments that still shape how he leads today- The one piece of career advice he wishes someone had given him at 25, for everyone starting out in India and across APJCFor me, this was part AI roadmap, part masterclass in leadership at global scale. You can feel how seriously he takes this moment and the responsibility that comes with it.If you care about AI, infrastructure, or building your career in this space, this is one you will want to watch.#data #ai #cisco #CiscoLiveAPJC #Sponsored #CiscoPartner #TheRavitShow
Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025. This video is a deep dive with Jeetu Patel on why the real AI revolution is happening in infrastructure and networking, not just in GPUs or chatbots. Jeetu explains that we are massively underestimating how much AI infrastructure the world will need. Power becomes the core constraint, GPUs are the core asset, and networking is the force multiplier that lets thousands of GPUs act as one system. He walks through how we went from models on a single GPU → 4–8 GPUs in a server → racks with hundreds of GPUs (like NVL-72 with 500+ GPUs) → clusters of racks, and now “scale across” between data centers when power and real estate are scattered across different regions. The conversation then shifts to edge AI and Cisco Unified Edge: instead of doing all token generation in big data centers, some inference and token generation must move to the edge (branches, factories, hospitals, stadiums, stores) where data is created. Jeetu explains why edge devices need to be plug-and-play, remotely managed, and integrate compute, networking, security and observability in a single platform. He also introduces the idea that AI is now constrained by three big bottlenecks: • Infrastructure • A trust deficit (people don't trust AI yet) • A data gap (models are mostly trained on human internet data, not on rich machine data) Jeetu explains how security becomes a prerequisite for productivity, not a trade-off, and describes Cisco's work with Splunk, open-sourced time-series models, and machine data (logs, metrics, traces) to close the data gap by correlating machine data with human-generated data for better insights. Globally, he talks about the “token generation race” – how every country now cares about having enough AI token generation capacity because it directly links to GDP and national security. He cites huge infrastructure build-outs with partners like G42 in the Middle East, at gigawatt and trillions-of-dollars scale. Finally, Jeetu tackles the “AI will take my job” fear. He outlines three stages of thinking: 1. “AI will take my job.” 2. “Someone who uses AI better will take my job.” 3. “Without AI, I won't be able to do my job.” His message to younger viewers: be excited, adopt AI as a companion, own your learning, and learn fast because AI compresses the time it takes to build skills. // Jeetu Patel's SOCIALS // LinkedIn: / jeetupatel Website: https://www.cisco.com/ X: https://x.com/jpatel41 // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

The danger of post-breach disruption and downtime is extremely real. And while we should work to prevent these breaches in the first place, we must also be practical and pre-empt any potential incidents. Organisations armed with the most extensive software-based cybersecurity protection today continue to fall prey to hackers, have their operations disrupted and struggle to overcome the loss of data and system corruption. And with more business assets moving to the cloud than ever before - we are just asking for it aren't we? The answer to this lies in advanced engineering at the hardware layer. Easily integrated into enterprise servers and data centers to provide full-stack protection across the entire life cycle of a potential attack.

Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/flexxonrsac to learn more about them! Over the past two years, we've seen the degree of digital trust in our day-to-day lives being pushed to its limits due to the unintended consequences of innovation. From GenAI to IoT security to quantum computing, we will see a “crescendo of trust” that will push trust to its absolute limits. Here, we will focus on IoT/device trust. This segment is sponsored by DigiCert. Visit https://securityweekly.com/digicertrsac to learn more about them! Security needs to be everywhere a potential threat exists – from an IOT device to an OT device, a factory floor, an element of infrastructure, an oil rig, a robotic device or an MRT machine – Cisco recognized that with increased connection comes a greater risk than ever before and that you must bring the security to these workloads...not the other way around. In order to keep up with today's sophisticated and expansive threat landscape, security can no longer be a fence; it needs to be embedded through the fabric of data centers, whether public or private. Cisco Hypershield does just that and gives defenders a fighting chance against adversaries, as now the industry has the advantage.
