The State of AI Security
Artificial intelligence has become one of the most transformative forces of the 21st century—reshaping industries, redefining productivity, and creating new opportunities for innovation. Yet, as AI adoption accelerates, security has emerged as the defining challenge. Findings from the Cisco 2024 AI Readiness Index reveal that while business leaders recognize AI’s potential, many struggle with safeguarding sensitive workloads and navigating complex compliance demands.
The inaugural Cisco State of AI Security Report explores the evolving risks, policies, and technologies shaping the AI landscape. It provides in-depth analysis of threats to AI infrastructure, supply chains, and applications, including model backdoors, data extraction, and prompt injection attacks. The report also examines global AI policy trends, summarizing hundreds of legislative developments and security frameworks worldwide.
Cisco’s own research into algorithmic vulnerabilities and dataset poisoning offers a rare look at the cutting edge of AI security science. The report also introduces Cisco AI Defense—the industry’s first comprehensive enterprise AI security platform designed to protect the full AI lifecycle, from development to deployment.
Discover how Cisco is securing the future of AI—and how your organization can stay protected, compliant, and ready to innovate with confidence.
