CTOnews.com, December 7, according to an official Cisco press release, Cisco recently launched a security tool, Cisco AI Assistant, which claims to help users manage firewall rules and prevent hackers from breaking in.

Jeetu Patel, general manager of ▲ web security and collaboration business at Cisco, demonstrated the AI tool.

In addition to being able to add firewall rules according to users' needs, AI Assistant will also actively provide advice to users. This AI tool can push a series of security analysis and optimization information for users to help users manage their devices.

▲ Picture Source Cisco said that in the future, officials will also expand the use of Cisco AI Assistant and deploy the AI to the conference platform Webex Control Hub and application platform Cisco Observability Platform:

In terms of Webex Control Hub, Cisco claims that future users can use AI to query the details of past meetings, learn about the highlights of the meetings, and ask "which colleague provided what insights."

In the case of Cisco Observability Platform, users can directly ask AI about an app and analyze the performance of the app, and AI assistants can automatically generate relevant chart reports or give further suggestions.
