The AI-Ready Blueprint: Future-Proofing Networks for the Agentic Era

AI-driven workloads, dynamic applications, and an expanding threat landscape are redefining the expectations placed on enterprise networks. Meeting these demands requires rethinking how infrastructure is designed—and how NetOps and NetSecOps teams approach scale, performance, and risk. Join Cisco presenters, Sanjay Kapoor, Senior Director of Solutions Marketing, and Grant Shirk, Senior Director of Product Marketing, for a conversation exploring the long-term implications of AI on enterprise networking. We'll share a perspective on where the industry is headed, what organizations should be doing to prepare, and how concepts like AgenticOps and AI-driven operations are starting to change the model. You'll also get a first look at AI Canvas and AI Assistant—powered by the Cisco Deep Network Model—to see how teams can troubleshoot and resolve issues faster than ever, with shared context across networking, security, and operations. Plus get a taste of how Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage manufacturer, transformed global network infrastructure and operations with Cisco SD-WAN and AI.
