Is Security Now a Prerequisite for AI Adoption? Inside Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA

Описание: 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 Vice President 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.

Enterprise AI now works well enough to create real risk. Pilots are easy. But scalable, governed AI capabilities are hard to come by. As AI shifts from answers to actions, the challenge is no longer experimentation - it's readiness.

Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to close that readiness gap by treating AI as a production system complete with compute, infrastructure, security and observability built to support always-on inference at enterprise scale.

This episode — featuring Cisco President Jeetu Patel, NVIDIA Vice President Craig Weinstein and WWT CTO Mike Taylor — kicks off a six-part series that dives into how Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT are working together to operationalize AI as a secure, production-grade capability that combines pre-validated infrastructure, embedded governance, and end-to-end observability to help enterprises move from experimentation to scalable, trusted outcomes.

"The challenge that large companies have is not in turning on experiments. Everyone's doing a lot of experiments and prototypes. The challenge…is when you find a winner, do you go all in and double down?"
-Jeetu Patel
