Smart CDR detects threats in real time and promptly notifies security teams, Pandey stated. “Most competitors stop at threat detection, but we go further, stitching these threats together to describe the attacker’s intent,” Pandey wrote. “Our approach involves generating synthetic attack simulations to train our ML models to detect attacks like ransomware, data exfiltration, crypto-jacking, container escape, and data destruction.” Lastly, Cisco added the ability to more easily create, manage, and enforce security policies across…

Red Hat didn’t create the core foundation model, however. Take, for example, Ansible Lightspeed, which became generally available last November. Ansible Lightspeed is based on IBM’s WatsonX Code Assistant, which, in turn, is powered by the IBM Granite foundation models, according to Sathish Balakrishnan, vice president and general manager at the Red Hat Ansible Business Unit, It is then further trained on data from Ansible Galaxy, an open-source repository of Ansible content covering a variety…

So, for any organization looking to leverage AI, automation is mission-critical, he says. Say, for example, a company is using the AI-powered Ansible Lightspeed service to accelerate automation development. If “policy as code” is infused from the start, content creators can write code that automatically maintains mandated compliance requirements, he says, “greatly reducing the impact of skills gaps and human error in IT operations.” At British banking and insurance company NatWest Group, for example, adding…

With the observability enhancements, Riverbed unveiled its Riverbed Unified Agent, which promises to streamline the deployment and management of observability products with a single software agent. The unified agent will enable enterprise network managers to adopt Riverbed modules without deploying more software or having to maintain an additional component to collect and report on data across the environment. “The universal agent reduces the amount of administrative overhead customers would have if they were using both…

In manufacturing, they consolidated operational data into a single data lake to enable analytics and potentially leverage AI for insights. “This integration [in manufacturing] has already reduced potential downtime by about 60% and improved production efficiency by 20%,” Venkataraman said. Pricing strategy The company will offer two pricing models — one based on CPU resources used and the other it terms as “use case as a service.” “Our goal is to transition more towards the…
