Three tech trends
This year at the show, Cisco is focused on three technology trends that are making headlines for all the right reasons: AI, Security, and the Future of Work.
The first is AI. As a leader in this space, Cisco is making a global investment to ensure your workforce is AI-ready and AI-enabled. To meet this demand, we’re introducing an all-new AI Solutions on Cisco Infrastructure Essentials | DCAIE Learning Path, which covers the essentials of deploying, migrating, and operating AI solutions on Cisco data center infrastructure.
If you’re at the show, stop by and check out the first two tracks for free, exclusively through Cisco U. We’ve also added a variety of new, free AI tutorials that you can only find on Cisco U.

Next up is Security. We have three key announcements you can check out at Cisco Live in Melbourne or when you get home.
First, we’re launching the new Designing Cisco Security Infrastructure Specialist Certification, which assesses expertise in security architecture design. You can earn it as a standalone certification or as part of the CCNP Security track. It will go live on May 20, 2025, but you can access the exam topics now to get a head start on your prep!
Next is the new Cisco Certificate in Ethical Hacking, which allows you to master essential offensive security skills and practice addressing real-world cyber threats. You can check out the Ethical Hacker Capture the Flag challenges at the show, exclusively through Cisco U.
We’ve also announced some exciting changes to our CyberOps certifications. Effective January 21, 2025, our CyberOps certifications will change to Cisco Cybersecurity certifications and will include new AI-related exam topics. Stop by at the show, and we’ll tell you all about the updates, or check out the Cisco Learning Network for more details.
Finally, Cisco will be featuring the Future of Work and the technologies that will shape how we approach our day-to-day jobs. If you’re at the show, stop by and check out Cisco U. to gain insights into how we’re shaping the way businesses learn and grow in 2025.
