Cisco Announces Cisco Hypershield 

Yesterday, Cisco announced its new security architecture, Cisco Hypershield, designed to address the increasing demands of AI-scale data centers and cloud environments, ensuring that security measures can be implemented flexibly across various locations and platforms, such as data centers, factory floors, or hospital imaging rooms, whether on premises or in the cloud.

Steven Aiello, field chief information security officer at enterprise IT solutions provider AHEAD had this comment:

“We believe cybersecurity should be integrated into everything we do. Bolted-on security is more expensive and less effective. Cisco Hypershield ensures that cyber protections are included into the fabric of the enterprise. Distributed Exploit Protection will be a massive win for blue teams – legacy synthetic patching was primarily limited to edge devices, allowing lateral movement once an attacker breached the perimeter. It’s a great day for cyber-defenders!”

Cisco’s move to make cybersecurity more agile and more integrated into everything an enterprise does is brilliant. I will be watching closely to see what positive effects come from this move over the long term.
