Rack to ready: Building secure, sovereign AI factories with Cisco and NVIDIA

Session speaker, dates, and times coming soon. 

Building secure, sovereign AI factories is about more than just hardware; it is about navigating the complex trust boundaries created by multi-tenant GPU clusters and autonomous agents. Traditional perimeter controls are no longer enough to secure these environments, so this session explores how you can effectively isolate tenants, protect AI workloads, and govern agent actions. We will go inside the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA to look at how a validated, full-stack architecture—combining accelerated computing, high-performance networking, embedded security, and observability—can shorten your path from rack deployment to production. Whether you are a neocloud operator, part of a sovereign-cloud team, or an enterprise architect, you will walk away with practical design patterns for data residency, workload isolation, and zero-trust policy enforcement. This session is designed for those actively building AI infrastructure, and no previous experience with Cisco or NVIDIA is required.

Who’s watching the agents—and counting the tokens?

Session speaker, dates, and times coming soon. 

As AI agents increasingly automate enterprise workflows, they introduce unique operational and security risks. This session explores how to gain granular visibility into agent activity, leveraging Agentic SOC capabilities to identify risks and resolve issues faster through enhanced observability. Beyond security, we will discuss how to connect token consumption to business value, ensuring clearer accountability and more informed investment decisions. Join Jeff Wiedemann, Global AI Technical Leader at Splunk by Cisco, to see our security, observability, and tokenomics capabilities in action. Learn how to maintain full control, performance, and visibility as you scale your AI landscape.
