Introducing Antares: @Cisco's family of small language models for locating known vulnerabilities in code. Antares-350M and Antares-1B are live on Hugging Face now. They can outperform many larger closed- and open-weight models at a fraction of the cost. Small enough to run locally. No shipping sensitive codebases to the cloud. Why it matters: vulnerability triage is expensive and slow. Antares helps democratize AI-assisted security for all. Explore the models + read the new Vulnerability Localization Benchmark: blogs.cisco.com/ai/introduci…

As AI models increasingly power agents, understanding their susceptibility to jailbreaks and prompt injections is critical. A new update to the @Cisco LLM Security Leaderboard expands model security evaluations across text, image, and audio—with 102 new evaluations since June. Explore how 136 models hold up against adversarial attacks across modalities: blogs.cisco.com/ai/llm-secur…

As AI agents take on more critical security tasks, how do you make sure they can be trusted? @jpatel41, @djsampath, and Matt Caulfield discuss why identity is key to securing the agentic era. Watch the conversation to learn more: piped.video/watch?v=rGL4RCkR…

Bigger AI models aren’t always better for security. Join Cisco @fdtn_ai experts @aminkarbasi and Didier Chapoteau to learn how small language models trained for specific security tasks can improve security workflows. Using Cisco’s open-weight Antares models, they’ll explore where specialization can outperform scale. Register now: cloudsecurity.cisco.com/webi…

Networking isn't just about software. The real breakthroughs happen at the physical layer. Learn why Cisco is co-designing custom #silicon for better efficiency ➡️ cs.co/6013BGyGVt #innovation #infrastructure @jpatel41

As AI agents gain more autonomy, the risks are evolving too. We’ve updated our Integrated AI Safety and Security Framework with a new objective: Agentic Autonomy Failures. Explore the new taxonomy for Excessive Agency, Goal Drift, Reward Hacking, and more: blogs.cisco.com/ai/security-…

Seeing the data is no longer enough. Intelligent agents can help teams understand complex systems and respond in real time. Catch @Cisco's @jpatel41 conversation with Galileo co-founders @atinsanyal and Yash Sheth about the future of observability: splk.it/4yrWtOK

AI is widening the offense–defense gap. How wide is it—and where does Antares fit? We take a closer look at attacker–defender asymmetry in vulnerability localization. Read the blog: cisco-foundation-ai.github.i…

AI is moving beyond chatbots. The next wave is agentic: AI agents that can take action on behalf of users through trusted delegation. But scaling that innovation across the enterprise requires more than excitement—it requires control, security and visibility. Jeetu Patel and DJ Sampath explore the shift from chatbots to agents and how Cisco Cloud Control is helping enterprises manage AI innovation with confidence.

Managing network data and security shouldn't be a fragmented task. Learn how we are bringing them together for better #DigitalResilience from Cisco's @jpatel41 and Kamal Hathi ➡️ cs.co/6015B17K0l #AI #networking

Agents can be compromised, made to exfiltrate sensitive data, and repurposed as a tool to attack your broader organization. Join Cisco AI Defense and @LangChain on September 15th to explore an approach to building agents that are secure by design—and how developers can protect their agents at runtime.

These initiatives are so important to continue for the entire ecosystem to support. Thanks to @gdb and @OpenAI for your leadership here. Always important to remember that the adversary, not our competitors, is the enemy. That means we should all have a bias towards transparency and coordination to keep everyone secure. Love the emphasis on mobilizing a collective response. @Cisco is happy to be part of this effort.

Models don’t have passports; they have supply chains. New @Cisco and VAIL research examines how AI lineage can cross organizational and geographic borders—and how artifact and behavioral fingerprints can provide evidence consistent with documented technical lineage.

As AI moves closer to where data and operations live, security must follow the workload. See how Cisco AI Defense + @armada_ai bring AI-native security across cloud, sovereign, and edge environments-without sacrificing speed, sovereignty, or security. Read more: blogs.cisco.com/ai/ai-defens…
