Cisco has recently launched an AI-driven firewall. The network security firm networking said that its firewall is now AI-driven, which autonomously manages and updates itself, aimed at simplifying cyber-defence for its enterprise clients.
The new firewall is designed to write its own codes and test them in real-time within the user's environment. This means it can autonomously manage and update itself, reducing manual oversight. It can deploy the rules across different platforms, including data centers and the cloud.The AI-powered firewall can also automatically remove rules once it deems them unnecessary.
This was announced by Raj Chopra, Chief Product Officer-Security Business Group, Cisco, at Accel Cybersecurity Summit 2024.
This development comes at a time when enterprises face increasing cyber-attacks globally. Cisco's approach aims to simplify cyber-defense for its enterprise clients, similar to how modern web browsers update automatically in the background. You can think of it as a "never have to upgrade ever again" solution.
Additionally, Cisco has also introduced the Cisco AI Assistant for Security, which leverages AI to speed up firewall management, making it simpler for administrators to identify, troubleshoot, and optimize complex policy environments.
