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.
Securing AI When Agents Move Faster Than Humans Can Respond
AI security is entering a new phase where models like Anthropic's Mythos are becoming more capable and agentic systems can take action across enterprise environments. The risk is no longer just bad answers or hallucinations. It is speed, scope and blast radius. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT security leaders Jillian Nix-Anderson and Istvan Berko explore how organizations can secure themselves in the agentic AI era, where vulnerability discovery, response timelines and operational complexity are all accelerating. And they talk about how WWT's ARMOR framework helps teams structure the conversation across infrastructure, models, data, software development, operations and compliance.
The AI Factory Revolution: Engineering Away Resource Contention with F5, NVIDIA & WWT

F5 Distributed Cloud for LLMs
In the current AI market, the demand for scalable and secure deployments is increasing. Public cloud providers (AWS, Google, and Microsoft) are competing to provide GenAI infrastructure, driving the need for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud deployments.
However, distributed deployments come with challenges, including:
Complexity in managing multi-cloud environments.
Lack of unified visibility across clouds.
Inconsistent security and policy enforcement.
F5 Distributed Cloud provides a solution by offering a seamless, secure, and portable environment for GenAI workloads across clouds. This lab will guide you through setting up and securing GenAI applications with F5 Distributed Cloud on AWS EKS and GCP GKE.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional Deployment Mode
This WWT Lab will provide a hand on experience of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge in deployment mode. This deployment mode is better suited when protecting backend applications which are already public accessible from the internet via FQDN or Public IP.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the internet through anycast IPs. The end users will connect to their closest Regional Edge and the traffic will be inspected by the WAF security policy.
The traffic will then be forwarded across the XC Global Network towards an egress Regional Edge and then towards the customer site as regular internet traffic. The customer will filter the traffic, only allowing traffic forwarded by the XC platform.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional and App Connect Deployment Mode
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP.
In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites.
Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs.
Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy.
The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.
