From Rules to Reasoning: Unleashing LLMs on Detection Logic
Security teams’ detection rules encode years of knowledge, yet holistic insight into what those rules truly cover is often lacking. LUCID applies LLMs to detection logic itself, continuously exposing where defenses align, and where they fall short, against real attacker behavior, and helping teams decide where to invest next.
Cisco Foundation AI Advances Agentic Security Systems for the AI Era
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly autonomous and embedded across enterprise environments, securing AI systems has emerged as a defining challenge for the industry. Cisco is addressing this challenge by advancing agentic security systems that combine reasoning, adaptive retrieval, and human oversight to support real world security operations at scale.
Introducing The PEAK Threat Hunting Assistant: Agentic AI to Supercharge Your Hunt
Threat hunting is a critical, proactive strategy to uncover hidden threats and drive security improvement, yet security teams are busy, and even the most seasoned hunters face time and resource constraints.
The role of AI in cybersecurity
AI can bring transformative value to cybersecurity in several key areas
Threat detection and prevention
AI models are highly effective at recognizing patterns in large datasets and can identify anomalies that signify a potential security threat. By using AI-driven models, security teams can detect threats much earlier in the process, preventing them from escalating into significant breaches.
Automation of security processes
One of the key advantages of AI in cybersecurity is its ability to automate repetitive tasks, like security analysis, incident triage, and response actions. This automation helps security teams operate more efficiently, focusing their energy on tasks that require human expertise.
Incident response and remediation
AI-driven tools can assist in rapid incident response by automating the analysis of security incidents and suggesting next steps. These tools not only provide faster resolution times but also enhance the accuracy of responses, reducing the chance of human error.
AI-Powered decision-making
AI enables faster, data-driven decision-making when dealing with security incidents. By processing vast amounts of information, AI models can generate valuable insights that inform security strategies, resource allocation, and threat mitigation efforts.
Powerful cybersecurity use cases
At Cisco Foundation AI, we apply AI across various aspects of cybersecurity to drive innovation and improve outcomes for organizations. Below are some specific use cases where AI is revolutionizing cybersecurity.
