Cisco announced on the 16th that it has launched a security solution, 'AI Defense,' to support corporations in their artificial intelligence transformation (AX) process.

Cisco noted that as artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly advances, unprecedented cyber threats are emerging at an alarming rate, making it difficult to respond with existing security solutions. The company stated that this product helps corporations develop, deploy, and protect AI applications with confidence.

According to the 'AI Readiness Index' surveyed by Cisco last year, only 14% of domestic corporations participating in the survey reported that they are adequately prepared to detect and prevent unauthorized AI modifications. It was found that the risk is growing even more as corporations utilize sensitive internal data, in addition to public data, for AI model training.

A Cisco representative emphasized, 'AI Defense is integrated into our AI-based security platform, Cisco Security Cloud, to implement AI security at the network level,' adding that 'this is a solution only Cisco can provide.'
