#587: Agentic AI is attacking your network (how to defend it)

Are your legacy network devices a ticking time bomb? In this deep dive, Cisco’s Head of Customer Experience reveals alarming statistics from the latest Talos report: 40% of top vulnerabilities directly target end-of-life devices, and 32% are over a decade old. We explore how older infrastructure has transitioned from a mere operational drag to ground zero for a new generation of agentic AI attacks, and why the looming threat of quantum computing breaking RSA encryption means you must assess your network now. Discover how the newly launched Cisco IQ provides real-time, dynamic visibility into hardware, software, and cryptographic assets. Learn how this powerful GPS for your network connects hidden operational trails, automates TAC troubleshooting, and ensures your enterprise is quantum-ready before post-Mythos era threats cause catastrophic downtime.
