Cisco has launched Hypershield, a security architecture to safeguard AI workloads in data centers and clouds.

Hypershield features distributed exploit protection, autonomous segmentation, and self-qualifying upgrades, utilizing eBPF and hardware acceleration.

The technology integrates AI into its core and is part of the Cisco Security Cloud's Cloud Protection Suite.

Cisco's new strategy focuses on automating security enforcement and streamlining microsegmentation and zero trust efforts for their customers.

Hypershield is expected to be available from July or August 2024, marking a significant milestone in Cisco's 40-year history.

The introduction of Hypershield is projected to have a profound effect on both the security industry and future security practices.
