Cisco CTF - Neuro Nemesis Beta Test
Cisco is running a private beta test of NEURO Nemesis, a new mixed CTF format built around AI security. This game incorporates Cisco AI Defense alongside Isovalent Cilium with Hubble and Tetragon, and Splunk Cloud, giving participants a live adversarial AI environment to attack and defend.
This is a beta event. Cisco has selected a limited group of participants to stress test the game format, scoring, and scenario flow before it is released more broadly. Feedback from this group will directly shape the final version of the game. Participants were chosen based on their technical background in AI security, SecOps, or SIEM/SOAR operations and their ability to provide detailed, actionable feedback on gameplay, tooling, and scenario realism.
Teams of 3 to 4 players will have 8 hours to detect adversarial AI activity, protect NEURO from NEMESIS's escalating attacks, and prevent the exposure of sensitive financial data from Whirlwind Wealth's environment.

Multi-OEM VXLAN EVPN 101: From Host Connectivity to eBGP Underlay
In a VXLAN fabric, the connection point to the VXLAN Fabric is the access layer, typically formed by the leaf switches. While the underlay provides the robust transport and the overlay delivers the virtual network services, it's the device connectivity to these leaf switches and the resiliency built into that access layer that directly impacts application uptime and user experience. A single point of failure at the access layer can bring down critical applications, negating all the benefits of a resilient spine/leaf underlay and a scalable VXLAN overlay. This lab guide, "Building Redundancy with vPC, MLAG, ESI, and eBGP Underlay Creation," is designed to provide you with hands-on experience in configuring and verifying resilient access layer connectivity in a multi-vendor VXLAN fabric.
Look for part 2 of this series, where we dive into advanced VXLAN techniques such as flood and learn and MP-BGP EVPN
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Foundations
This learning path on foundational Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) provides a comprehensive introduction and deep dive into the core aspects of OSPF. It starts by explaining the basics of OSPF, including its purpose, operation, and fundamental concepts such as OSPF Neighbors, advertising routes, authentication, OSPF network types, and many others. This learning path aims to equip network professionals with the knowledge needed to manage and optimize OSPF in real-world environments, emphasizing best practices and common pitfalls.
How to Determine If ACI Multi-Site is the Right Data Center Solution
Is ACI and ACI Multi-Site the correct solution for your data center refresh? By leveraging the ACI Multi-Site on-demand labs, you can determine if the ACI Multi-Site spine/leaf fabric architecture fits your business and technical requirements for brownfield or greenfield data center refreshes.
Your AI Infrastructure Is More Than GPUs. Here's What Matters Most.
AI has made infrastructure conversations more complicated, not less. For the last few years, enterprise AI has been dominated by discussions about GPUs and compute. But as organizations move from pilots to production, the conversation is shifting to everything around them. Recorded live at Cisco Live, Brian Feldt sits down with Cisco's Will Eatherton and WWT's Eric Fairfield to explore the infrastructure decisions that determine whether AI investments deliver on their promise. From networking and storage to security and operational design, they explore why AI performance is no longer determined by any single technology, but by how well the entire system works together.
