Resilient Infrastructure Services

We find ourselves at a significant juncture in the evolution of our digital landscape. The advent of frontier AI models has fundamentally altered the rhythm of cybersecurity, demanding a shift from reactive measures to structural proactive resilience.00:03During this video, we'll go over the following. 1st, we will examine the nature of AI era threats. Second, introduce our new services offering, resilient infrastructure services. 3rd, we will clarify the role of Cisco IQ plus Cisco support as your primary instrument for.00:20Stability. Finally, we will explain the transition from reactive firefighting to autonomous security. The cybersecurity landscape has crossed a definitive threshold. Frontier AI models are now capable of discovering vulnerabilities and chaining weaknesses into complete attack paths at machine speed.00:39This is not a theoretical shift. Cisco has already put this to the test. As of June 2026, we analyzed roughly 1.8 billion lines of code across more than 25 languages. What would have historically taken years was completed in eight weeks by running multiple frontier models in parallel.00:58The average time to exploit a vulnerability in 2026 is 8 h, and in some cases disclosures spiked ten to 15 times. Attackers now chain three separate weaknesses into a single attack path. Now compare that to how fast most teams can respond today.01:18The median time to patch a critical known exploited vulnerability is 43 days and 40 % of the most targeted vulnerabilities hit end of life systems that were never designed for this threat velocity. The tools and timelines simply predate the threat, and that's the gap we can help you close.01:36To address this new reality, we built a long term strategy with Cisco IQ that can help mitigate the unknown for customers today and in the future. Cisco's resilient infrastructure services are built upon three pillars, Exposure assessment, infrastructure modernization, and defense resiliency.01:551st, we need to get clarity. Exposure assessment provides the foundation. We map your full attack surface, including essential visibility into end of life and last day of support assets. We then provide personalized security advisory mapping and insights on risk criticality, so you know exactly which.02:14Vulnerabilities require your immediate attention.02:34Second, we modernize. This is a conversation about operational risk. We prioritize the refreshment of aging systems, the enforcement of zero trust principles, dynamic network segmentation, and utilizing services as code to transform patching from a fire drill into a predictable routine cadence.02:373rd, we build defense resiliency. With Cisco IQ, we can transition your security operations center toward an agentic model. By integrating Splunk's data fabric and Talos threat intelligence, we enable autonomous policy enforcement and continuous threat hunting. Ensuring your defenses operate at the same speed as the.02:57Threats they encounter. Cisco Resilient Infrastructure Services includes a step by step playbook powered by Cisco IQ to help accelerate the path to infrastructure resilience. We utilize the key capabilities of Cisco IQ to help address the shortened exploit window and remediate exposures quickly.03:17Cisco IQ is the essential instrument that orchestrates this framework. It serves as the unified digital interface for proactive AI driven agentic intelligence, providing the life cycle visibility and automated workflows necessary to manage your environment with absolute confidence.03:37Accessing these capabilities is now available. Attack surface mapping is the initial step of the exposure assessment pillar, which is featured in the resilient infrastructure playbook on Cisco IQ. It starts with complete asset visibility, so nothing hides in the blind spots.03:55It surfaces end of life and last day of support status on every device, which is critical when top targeted vulnerabilities hit legacy systems. It then maps security advisories to your specific environment, so you see the exposures that apply to you rather than a generic list.04:132nd step, critical exposure remediation guidance. Collapses the discover, assess, and act loop. We map threats to your assets and apply risk scoring so you know where to focus 1st. You get prioritized criticality and remediation guidance.04:30Which cuts through the noise of everything looking urgent at once. Then we automate and de risk the operating system upgrade path, which raises your patch velocity and closes the 43 day gap we talked about earlier. The 3rd and last step.04:47Modernization life cycle insights. Turns exposure data into a proactive refresh plan, so you get ahead of risk instead of reacting to it. It starts with clear life cycle status visibility across your fleet, and it maps that life cycle data to business risk impact.05:03It then gives you tailored remediation paths rather than generic advice, which sets up the modernization work cleanly. The resilient Infrastructure Services offering is included with Cisco IQ. Cisco IQ is included with Cisco support standard, and Cisco support signature support tiers. By moving to the.05:18Standard support tier. You gain access to Cisco iq's proactive AI driven intelligence.05:38Shifting your operations from reactive patch everything to a risk based remediation strategy that prioritizes the vulnerabilities which impact your business. If you are on the basic support tier, in the middle of your renewal cycle, we've got you covered as well.05:44Because we know the threat landscape moves faster than any renewal cycle. We are offering a special one year non renewable Cisco support tier called Standard Quick Start. It unlocks all the digital Cisco IQ features, including access to the RIS playbook.06:00Personalized criticality scoring, prioritized remediation insights, and continuous security advisory mapping without requiring a midterm contract change. If you choose the standard quick start support tier in the interim, the recommended next step is to make the move to Cisco support standard tier.06:16Or the Cisco support signature tier when your contract renews. While standard quick start gives you the Cisco IQ agentic intelligence to spot and prioritize your risks, the signature support tier provides the extra layer of resilience that comes from the combination of Cisco IQ agentic intelligence plus the human expertise that comes.06:34Comes from access to a team of solution experts who serve as a primary point of contact to actively manage the issue to resolution. You'll get guaranteed response times, expert led tax support, and faster hardware replacement.06:54Thank you for investing your time to learn how Cisco Resilient Infrastructure Services can accelerate your path to infrastructure resilience. Contact your account team to start the conversation now so your business is both protected and prepared for the future.07:08
