"Revolutionary" new Hypershield product is Cisco's first major launch since 
Splunk acquisition.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Cisco has unveiled a new AI-powered cybersecurity platform it says can 
provide an "unprecedented" update to business protection. 

The new Cisco Hypershield architecture wa originally developed for hyperscale 
public clouds, but has now been repurposed for enterprise IT teams of all 
sizes. 

The company promises security enforcement everywhere it needs to be, 
including application services in the datacenter, Kubernetes clusters in the 
public cloud, containers, and virtual machines. Solving customer problems 

Hypershield was designed to solve three major customer pain points, Cisco 
says, testing and deploying upgrades, doing it faster than hackers can 
exploit flaws, and segmenting a compromised network to contain the threats. 

The platform will also automatically test and deploy compensating controls 
into the distributed fabric of enforcement points, in order to move faster 
than the attackers. 

It will perpetually observe, auto-reason and re-evaluate existing policies to 
autonomously segment the network, and will automate the incredibly laborious 
and time-consuming process of testing and deploying upgrades, once theyre 
ready. 

Further explaining how Hypershield operates, Cisco said security enforcement 
happens at three different layers: in software, in virtual machines, and in 
network and compute servers and appliances. 

It was built to be AI-native, cloud-native, and hyper-distributed, and as 
such, it should be autonomous and predictive from the get-go, managing itself 
once it earns trust. Furthermore, it was designed on open-source eBPF, the 
default mechanism for connecting and protecting cloud-native workloads in the 
hyperscale cloud. 

"The power of Cisco Hypershield is that it can put security anywhere you need 
it  in software, in a server, or in the future even in a network switch. When 
you have a distributed system that could include hundreds of thousands of 
enforcement points, simplified management is mission critical. And we need to 
be orders-of-magnitude more autonomous, at an orders-of-magnitude lower cost, 
said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Security 
and Collaboration at Cisco. More from TechRadar Pro A new botnet is spreading
