Why AI Factories Need Security from the Start | Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA

Build AI apps, not infrastructure. Abhinav Joshi, Secure AI Factory at Cisco, explains why AI factories need security built in from the start, and how Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA delivers validated, full-stack AI infrastructure so you can deploy faster and with less risk. Cisco and NVIDIA co-engineer compute, networking, storage, security, and AI software into one integrated stack: - Security built in: Cisco AI Defense with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails helps stop prompt injection, while Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Splunk security operations protect AI workloads from supply chain to runtime. - High-performance networking: choose Cisco Silicon One or NVIDIA Spectrum-X based Cisco switches, managed in Nexus Dashboard. - Full-stack visibility and operations: Splunk Observability provides visibility and tokenomics, and Cisco Cloud Control enables unified agentic operations. Secure, scalable, and simple, from core to edge. #SecureAIFactory #AIInfrastructure #AISecurity #CiscoAIDefense
