Manufacturing at the EDGE: SCADA Instrumentation, Model Context Protocol and Agentic Design Patterns
Modern manufacturing is evolving towards data-centric, automated and intelligent systems that require contextualized operational data streaming from IoT-based edge devices converging with IT networks for adaptive real-time decision-making. MCP offers a structured approach to managing and interpreting diverse data streams, while SCADA systems serve as the core industrial instrumentation integrated with agentic methods and advanced inferencing to enhance manufacturing processes.
The AI Adoption Gap Isn't Technical. It's Human.
At the Cisco AI Summit, multiple leaders pointed to a growing gap between what AI can do and how organizations are absorbing it. This gap is not because the technology isn't ready, but because organizations haven't changed how people work, collaborate and build trust around AI.

Is Security Now a Prerequisite for AI Adoption? Inside Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA
As companies move from chatbots to agents, the hardest work isn't prompting — it's building an always-on, governable, cost-aware system that leaders can trust. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Cisco's President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel, NVIDIA's Vice President, Americas Partner Organization Craig Weinstein and WWT CTO Mike Taylor discuss how Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to close the gap between experimentation and execution by treating AI as infrastructure.
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.
Why Production AI Exposes Security Gaps Organizations Can't Ignore
As enterprises move AI from experimentation to production, security failures are no longer isolated incidents—they are systemic risks embedded deep in infrastructure, data flows, and decision-making systems. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Istvan Berko, Cisco's DJ Sampath and NVIDIA's Ofir Arkin discuss why as AI becomes core infrastructure, security becomes the mechanism that determines whether that infrastructure scales or undermines itself.
What Cisco Live 2025 Revealed About the Future of Enterprise AI
At Cisco Live 2025, the networking giant rolled out a sweeping agenda to make AI not just powerful, but practical — and secure. In this episode, we caught up with leaders from Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT to talk about what this year's announcements actually mean for enterprise teams tasked with building scalable, secure, AI-ready infrastructure. From the rise of the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA to the reality of agentic workflows and persistent inference traffic, this episode unpacks the architectural shifts reshaping the modern data center.
Securing AI Transformation with WWT's Jim Kavanaugh and Cisco's Jeetu Patel
