Artificial intelligence is firmly in the heart of the world's most critical infrastructure — the massive networks that keep our digital lives running. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, two of our top trusted advisors to the world's largest network operators — Dave Clough and Yohannes Tafesse — break down the high-stakes reality of applying AI at scale, the often-overlooked work of preparing data and building trust, and why the lessons emerging from telecom will shape how every enterprise approaches AI in mission-critical environments.

Cisco's Hybrid Mesh Firewall solution is a highly distributed security fabric optimized to stop advanced threats, protect application vulnerabilities, and implement zero trust segmentation across environments.

In this video Drew Kaiser (WWT Technical Solution Architect) and Nick Carrieri (Cisco SBG's Director of Product Management) take a look at Cisco Firewall Threat Defense and some of the new features available with the latest release.

Traditional methods of backhauling Internet-bound traffic from branches to a data center for traditional security services is expensive and latency intensive. Many organizations are improving their network infrastructure by adopting a SASE (Secure Access Services Edge) architecture. Cisco SD-WAN and Cisco Secure Edge (formerly Umbrella) SASE integrations give organizations the ability to leverage cloud-delivered security in minutes. This demonstration is designed to give an overview of the integration between Umbrella DNS Layer Security and Cisco SD-WAN.

As the digital landscape evolves, maintaining secure, high-performance infrastructure is critical. Fortinet's upcoming End of Support (EOS) dates for numerous models mark a pivotal moment for IT leaders.

Introducing Fortinet Unified SASE, a global unified protection across your entire network with a single management console, agent and policies.

Given the challenges of today's threat landscape, nothing less than a radical rethinking of security will do. Cisco Hypershield is it.

Adoption of Secure Service Edge (SSE) platforms, which provides security and policy enforcement right at the cloud edge, is accelerating and remains key to realizing a full SASE model. In this episode of WWT Research, Technical Solutions Engineer Nicole Portell outlines steps you can take to implement SSE for a secure, scalable and flexible network architecture that optimizes traffic flows and optimizes user experience.

There is strength in unity, and when it comes to protecting the integrity of your organization, the same holds true. You need multiple security tools working together to protect your network, workforce, and workloads.

From data security models to AI-driven threat detection, Graphiant is at the forefront of modern network solutions. In this episode of Meet the Chief, we talk with Graphiant CEO Khalid Raza – widely recognized as the 'father' of SD-WAN – about the pivotal roles of AI and data exchanges and how these are set to revolutionize network management and performance. Khalid also discusses the need to secure critical infrastructure.

The top 3 cybersecurity risks are people-centric. Learn how Proofpoint helps organizations break the attack chain.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital enterprise, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) have emerged as pivotal frameworks for enhancing enterprise security. These technologies promise to revolutionize how organizations approach network security, offering integrated solutions that are both agile and scalable to meet the demands of AI-driven workloads. This panel brings together thought leaders from leading SASE/SSE suppliers to discuss the transformative potential of these technologies. Rather than focusing on supplier-specific features, the discussion will center on real-world use cases and the broader impact of SASE/SSE on enterprise security. Key topics will include the integration of AI with SASE/SSE, strategic deployment considerations, and the future trajectory of these technologies in supporting secure, AI-ready infrastructures.
