Cisco Systems Unveils Cisco Cloud Control Unified Platform and Announces Security and Quantum-Safe Innovations
Cisco Systems unveiled Cisco Cloud Control, a unified platform built for humans and AI agents to manage, monitor and defend critical IT infrastructure. Cisco Cloud Control delivers a single view of Cisco networking, security, compute, observability, and collaboration in one secure environment. People and agents work from a single data layer, sharing the same operational context and the same system of action, while humans stay in control. Customers can build their own applications and agents using natural language directly within the platform, which also connects to a large ecosystem, including AWS, Linear, Microsoft, PagerDuty, ServiceNow, Slack, and Google Cloud, which now includes Wiz. Cisco Cloud Control is the single management plane that brings a customer's entire estate into one environment — one login, one view. Cross-domain telemetry, purpose-built models, trusted agents, Cisco AI Canvas, and Cloud Control Studio are included as features. Cloud Control Studio unlocks two customization environments: Agent Builder lets customers build agents for Cloud Control tailored to their own policies and workflows, with the ability to connect to more than 50+ third-party platforms and tools through native connectors or the open Model Context Protocol (MCP). App Builder lets customers build and publish apps and workflows for Cloud Control from natural-language prompt, with OpenAI Codex, an agentic platform that helps you build and ship with AI, built in. Everything built in Studio — plus agents and apps from across Cisco's ecosystem — can be published to Cloud Control Marketplace. Cisco Cloud Control enters Controlled Availability in United States, with Global Availability to follow. Cisco is expanding protections across its infrastructure to shield customers from new vulnerabilities quickly following discovery — with Cisco Cloud Control as the security command center where defense plays out in real time. Live Protect acts as a digital immune system for Cisco products, shielding them from newly discovered and prioritized vulnerabilities for supported platforms at runtime — no reboots, no upgrades, no maintenance windows. Live Protect is expanding to more products in the Cisco Portfolio in the coming months, starting with campus and branch smart switches, followed by secure routers later in the year. Hybrid Mesh Firewall extends unified protection across networks, applications, and Cisco and third-party firewalls — limiting the blast radius when something goes wrong. Cisco announced an array of new innovations to protect agents from the world, protect the world from agents, and detect and respond to issues at machine speed. Cisco announced further enhancements across its agentic security offerings, from AI Defense, to Zero Trust for agents, to the Agentic SOC. Cisco is turning tomorrow's threat into a plan enterprises can start building: new Quantum-safe communications advancements across Cisco's core portfolio. With a commitment to enable quantum-safe communications capabilities across the majority of Cisco's core portfolio by December 2026, Cisco is extending post-quantum protection to the systems where the most sensitive enterprise traffic flows. Quantum-safe by default for new infrastructure. Any newly introduced campus, branch and data center routers, switches, and firewall series will launch with quantum-safe secure boot. The new Quantum Ready Assessments, available through Cisco IQ, identify the assets most exposed to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks — and where to start. Global availability planned for July 2026. The new Quantum Resilience Framework gives enterprises a structured approach to post-quantum cryptography across two pillars: quantum-safe communications and quantum-safe products. Resilient Infrastructure Services, delivered through Cisco Support and Professional Services, is a new three-step approach — Exposure Assessment, Infrastructure Modernization, Defense Resiliency — that helps customers mitigate risk from frontier model threats. Cisco IQ, fully integrated into Cisco Cloud Control, is Cisco's AI-powered delivery vehicle for Support and Professional Services. Cisco IQ will now support on-premises deployment options. Cisco IQ's Peer Benchmarking uses anonymized data to provide data-driven insights on areas such as Last Day of Support (LDOS) risk exposure and security vulnerability rates, enabling comparison with organizations of similar size, sector, or infrastructure profile. Global availability planned for July 2026.
