WWT thought leadership sessions
WWT experts are taking the stage at Cisco Live 2026 with two sessions built around where enterprise AI actually gets hard — securing it at scale and engineering it for real-world production. Whether you're an architect trying to operationalize AI infrastructure or a developer figuring out how to turn AI coding tools into a genuine competitive edge, there's a seat with your name on it.
Browse these featured WWT sessions and add them to your conference schedule. Session details and registration links are also below.
Enterprise AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, but many organizations are discovering that moving from pilots to production is being constrained less by compute availability and more by security, governance and operational readiness. As AI workloads expand across hybrid environments, enterprises need a structured approach to secure, scale and operate AI as a business‑critical system — not an isolated experiment.
In this session, WWT introduces the ARMOR (AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience) framework and explains how it is applied to help organizations secure and operationalize Cisco AI Factories at scale. ARMOR addresses AI readiness across six domains: Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), Secure AI Operations, Model Protection, Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Infrastructure Security, and Data Protection — providing a holistic, practical model for enterprise AI security and resilience.
You'll leave this session with ideas to help you:
- Assess AI readiness across the six ARMOR domains and identify gaps that prevent scaling AI securely
- Embed security, governance, and operational controls into AI platforms from day one—without slowing innovation
- Align AI infrastructure, operations, and risk management to support sustainable, hybrid AI deployments
Presenter: Jillian Anderson-Nix, AI Security Strategist, World Wide Technology

60% of developers now use artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools — yet fewer than 20% can reliably hand off work to an AI agent. The gap between adoption and real competitive advantage is where most organizations are stuck: pilots that shine in demos but stall against real codebases, real deadlines and fragmented teams.
This session draws on real customer stories, including a major QSR brand modernization (25–50% productivity gains, 60–70% migration time saved) and the Special Olympics 2026 Games (working beta in 3 days vs. a 4–6 week estimate) — plus WWT's own internal deployment data. Familiarity with software development workflows is recommended.
You'll leave this session with ideas to help you:
- Recognize and avoid the three most common failure modes — Endless Rebuild, Runaway Agent, and Capability Cliff — that derail enterprise AI coding programs
- Build a governance model that makes AI adoption fast and secure, without slowing developer velocity
- Apply a practical playbook covering model selection, context management, and enablement to turn individual productivity gains into organizational advantage

In this session, you'll hear the story behind WWT's NVIDIA NemoClaw hands-on lab: what we built, the decisions we made along the way, and what the experience taught us about deploying autonomous agents responsibly. Participants in the lab build an agent named Alex, and that journey surfaces the questions that matter most in any real deployment: How do agents plan and act reliably? Where does NVIDIA NemoClaw fit today, and what should you realistically expect from an early-stage platform? What does governance look like when the agent has autonomy rather than just instructions? And how does everything learned in a lab environment translate to enterprise workflows that actually need to work at 2 AM without a human watching?
You'll leave with a clear-eyed view of where the technology stands today versus where it's heading, and practical insight into how WWT thinks about the design choices that make the difference between an agent that's impressive in a demo and one that's trustworthy in production.

Monday, June 1, from 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
The gap between AI experimentation and enterprise production is where most organizations stall. This session demonstrates how Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA—validated and deployed through WWT—bridges that gap with pre-validated architectures, integrated security controls, and operational simplicity. Discover how to reduce deployment timelines, mitigate risk, and build AI infrastructure that meets the demands of business while delivering the performance your AI developers and data science teams need.
The session concludes with a live AI Data Flywheel demo running on the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA infrastructure, built and validated by WWT. See how real‑world workloads leverage secure, pre‑validated AI infrastructure to fine‑tune smaller models for high accuracy, low latency, and cost‑efficient production deployment.
