Cisco Cloud Control: Foundation for the Agentic AI Era

LAS VEGAS — Cisco Live US, June 2, 2026 — In an agentic AI world, organizations must act and defend at machine speed and scale. Cisco Cloud Control, unveiled today at Cisco Live, is a unified platform built for humans and AI agents to manage, monitor, and defend critical IT infrastructure.

With one login, Cisco Cloud Control delivers a single view of Cisco networking, security, compute, observability, and collaboration in one secure environment. People and AI agents work from a single data layer while humans remain in control.

"AI agents reason and act continuously at software speed, and that changes everything about how we scale, manage, and defend our critical infrastructure."
— Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco
