Cisco Unveils Cloud Control to Secure IT in AI Era

KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — Cisco has announced Cisco Cloud Control, a unified platform designed to help organisations manage and secure critical IT infrastructure in the age of artificial intelligence. The launch, made at Cisco Live U.S. 2026, comes as AI accelerates the gap between vulnerabilities and cyberattacks, requiring systems to be defended at machine speed.

Cisco Cloud Control integrates networking, security, and operations into a single environment where both human teams and AI agents collaborate. Among its standout features are new “AgenticOps” capabilities, enabling organisations to build and deploy AI agents using natural language across major enterprise platforms. Enhanced Live Protect ensures always‑on security, defending systems against emerging threats in real time without downtime.

The announcement underscores Cisco’s push to redefine enterprise infrastructure security in an era where AI is reshaping both opportunities and risks.
