Cisco Cloud Control: AI Botnets for Business Defense

Cisco has released a new AI defense suite called Cloud Control. This suite allows businesses to build their own "bot armies" to protect their systems. The company says this is necessary because cyberspace is becoming an AI battlefield. What's interesting is that these bots are designed to watch over systems and block exploitation attempts. Cisco also introduced a marketplace for third-party AI coding tools, like OpenAI’s Codex, which will integrate directly into the Cloud Control platform. This marketplace is set to release in the second half of the year. The bottom line: Cisco believes businesses need to prepare for advanced AI threats by using machine-scale defenses, rather than relying on human scale operations.
