Cisco SE Talks: AI Services delivered by Cisco & Presidio

In this episode, we discuss the latest cybersecurity developments, including critical vulnerabilities in Cisco and SAP systems, widespread phishing campaigns, ransomware attacks, and regulatory actions. We also explore the growing skills gap in the cybersecurity workforce and the importance of board-level awareness to protect organizations from escalating digital threats.

Critical Exploits, Ransomware Breaches, and Rising Risk Awareness

In this episode, Edd Hall discusses the latest cybersecurity developments, including hackers deploying Linux rootkits on Cisco routers, the U.S. Senate’s scrutiny of Cisco’s security practices, and active exploits targeting Adobe Experience Manager and Windows BitLocker. He also covers Integris Health’s $30 million data breach settlement, new additions to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and the often-overlooked hidden costs of penetration testing — highlighting how these events shape today’s digital risk landscape.

Cisco’s Martin Lund joins David Bombal to unpack how AI-scale networking really works - and why a 51.2 Tbps, 64×800G, post-quantum–ready router matters. We break down scale-up vs scale-out vs scale-across, deep buffers to prevent drops on long-haul links, line-rate IPsec/MACsec, SONiC vs IOS XR, P4 programmability, coherent optics for ~1000 km DCI, and how these pieces enable exabit-class fabrics for AI clusters.
What you’ll learn
• Why GPUs are useless without massive, reliable interconnects
• 51.2 Tbps with 64×800G ports and what that enables for AI training
• Deep buffers vs shallow buffers and when each wins
• Line-rate encryption today and post-quantum readiness tomorrow
• SONiC on Cisco Silicon One, P4, and automation at hyperscale

#518: How Cisco Links Data Centers: 64x800G at 51.2 Tbps Securely

Kat's on the road, and in a haunted hotel...which begs the question: do you believe in ghosts?

We segue (beautifully) into talking about the cloud at 5:05 into the episode if the ethereal doesn't do it for you. From dispelling common myths to highlighting benefits for small businesses, we've got you covered. We all use it every day, possibly without knowing it. Kat even makes this about Cisco at 15:20 and we highlight what role Cisco plays in the cloud.
