Cisco Live 2026 Signals a New Phase of Enterprise AI: Operational Reality
As AI agents, cyber risk and infrastructure demand accelerate, IT leaders must move beyond experimentation and build the visibility, agility and resilience needed to operate at AI speed. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, we dive into the key lessons learned at Cisco Live 2026 and how enterprise business and technology leaders should think about them moving forward.
Navigating the Mythos Reality: 3 Questions Every Exec Must Answer About Frontier AI
Frontier AI is moving faster than traditional cyber defenses while access to models such as Mythos and Fable can change without warning. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Chief National Security and Critical Infrastructure Advisor Madison Horn and Field CTO Robert Geis explain why security leaders must look beyond any single model and answer three urgent questions: How do we defend at machine speed? Which tools can we trust? And who is accountable when a critical dependency changes or disappears?
Cloud, FinOps and AI: What You Need to Know About Unit Economics, GPUs and the ROI Flywheel
AI has pushed cloud into overdrive. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, two of our top cloud experts — Jack French and Todd Barron — reset the approach and detail why cloud is the launchpad but portability is the strategy; how to start greenfield with containers and abstraction; what a real FinOps model for AI looks like (unit economics, tagging, token/GPU visibility); where neo clouds fit versus hyperscalers; and how to handle cross-cloud risk and skill gaps; and the governance moves that accelerate—not restrict—innovation.
How AI Is Rewriting Customer Expectations Across Healthcare, Utilities and Retail
Customer expectations are shifting faster than most organizations can respond. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, leaders from healthcare, utilities and retail break down how AI is redefining what "good" customer experience looks like — and how their industries are rethinking service models, operational workflows and human touchpoints to keep pace with a new, AI-shaped standard.
Deepfake Deception: Can You Trust What You See and Hear?
Deepfakes are getting smarter — is your security strategy keeping up? On this episode of The AI Proving Ground Podcast, cybersecurity veterans Kent Noyes and Chris Roberts expose the latest deepfake tactics used by cybercriminals, discuss real-world attacks that have cost companies millions, and share strategies for staying ahead of this AI-driven threat. They'll also unpack the regulatory landscape and the broader geopolitical stakes at play.
Why 82% of Your AI Coding Budget Isn't Shipping Software
AI can now write code and accelerate development, but using AI tools isn't the same as becoming AI-native. Recorded at Cisco Live, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features Cisco SVP and Chief Product Officer of the Cisco Security Product Management organization Raj Chopra, WWT SVP of Global Solutions and Architecture Brian Ortbals and WWT VP of Digital Experiences Joe Berger discussing how AI is reshaping development and transforming the enterprise.
Mythos Is Coming. Are You Building Walls or Traps?
Anthropic's forthcoming Mythos model wasn't built to hack. It just learned how — and it's good at it. In this AI Proving Ground Podcast episode, former NSA cybersecurity director Rob Joyce and WWT cyber leader Kent Noyes break down what Mythos means for your security posture and what the defender's playbook looks like now.
The Moment AI Becomes an Employee
By the time you come back, the work is done.
Not because someone stayed late. Not because a team worked through the night. Because software made decisions, used tools, navigated workflows, and kept working while nobody was watching.
That's the opportunity unfolding in front of every enterprise right now. It's also the reason leaders are being forced to ask a new set of questions about trust, control, accountability, and risk.
Former NSA Cyber Director on the Emerging AI Threat Landscape
AI-powered nation-state cyber threats have entered a new phase. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Head of National Security and Critical Infrastructure Madison Horn joins former NSA Director Rob Joyce to break down what's changed and why business leaders should be paying close attention.
AI Is Ready. Trust Is the Next Step.
AI already moves trillions of dollars in milliseconds. So why won't companies let it send a customer email?
That gap says everything about where enterprise AI really is right now.
In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Erik Anderson, CEO of Singularity University and Founder of WestRiver Group, joins WWT to break down what's actually holding organizations back. It's not the technology. It's trust.
Everybody Wants AI. Who's Paying For It?
For most of the last decade, technology felt almost limitless.
Need more compute? Buy it. Need more storage? Add it. Need a new application? Spin it up.
AI is changing that.
The models may live in software, but the reality underneath them is power, infrastructure, capacity and cost. Suddenly, decisions that once felt small or easy to postpone are becoming impossible to ignore.
Why the AI Factory Is Becoming the Enterprise's Next Critical Infrastructure
As organizations struggle to move beyond AI pilots, a new architecture — Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA — is emerging as a missing link between experimentation and real business outcomes. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Neil Anderson, Cisco's Kevin Wollenweber and NVIDIA's Chris Marriott discuss how the Secure AI Factory represents a shift from bolt-on protection to security built into the architecture itself.
