What will it take for Ethernet to succeed in this emerging enormous market? What's happening in the Ethernet Industry to address these needs?

AI Gone Rogue: How Attackers are Breaking LLMs
Kyle Winters, Technical Advocate, Cisco - Distinguished Speaker
Rapid AI and LLM adoption creates significant, unmanaged security risks for organizational data and reputation. This session explores evolving AI security, risk areas, and enterprise challenges. You will learn to identify and understand the OWASP Top 10 LLM vulnerabilities, as well as strategies to mitigate AI risks across third-party tools and first-party applications. Aimed at security professionals, AI developers, and IT leaders, a foundational understanding of cybersecurity and LLMs is beneficial.

Next-Level Network Defense: Unified Management and Design using Cisco Secure Firewall and Secure Router
Magdy Louis, Technical Solutions Architect, Cisco
This session delivers a unified design and management approach for Cisco Secure Firewall and Secure Router, highlighting shared constructs and platform synergies. Attendees will explore best practices and industry trends that drive streamlined policy enforcement using Security Cloud Control (SCC) and provides enhanced visibility. By leveraging integrated security controls and common segmentation strategies, organizations can simplify operations and gain a competitive advantage through resilient, adaptive network defense.

Construct a Network Automation Solution with Terraform to Manage Catalyst SD-WAN
Michael Lipsey, Solutions Engineer SDWAN, Cisco - Distinguished Speaker
Are you managing your Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN deployment manually? Do you want to learn how to Terraform your Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN environment? Are you preparing for the upcoming Cisco Automation Certifications? If you answered "yes"to any of these questions, then this session is for you.

Quantum Security & Networking: What It Means for You and How to Prepare
Vinay Saini, Principal Architect, Cisco
Quantum computing is no longer science fiction - it’s a fast-approaching reality that could render today’s encryption and security models obsolete. For network leaders, the question isn’t if, but when your infrastructure, data, and trust models will be exposed. This session helps you understand what quantum security means for your network, what changes are coming in encryption, protocols, and vendor roadmaps, and how to start preparing for the post-quantum world - without disrupting existing operations.

Chatting With My Network via Cisco RADKit and FastMCP
Alfonso Sandoval Rosas, Developer Advocate, Cisco
What if you could TALK to your RADKit-onboarded network instead of wrestling with CLI commands? This session demonstrates how to leverage the MCP technology and the Cisco RADKit Python SDK to build an AI-powered conversational interface. We will build a standalone MCP server from scratch, expose Cisco RADKit functionalities as intelligent tools, connect to Claude Desktop for conversational network control, and run some live demos of AI-assisted RADKit interactions such as configuration querying, reports generation, and settings commit.
