Connecting the Future: How Connectivity and AI Unlock New Potential

Success Stories:
Proactive Threat Detection Strategies

Cisco’s HyperShield is AI-native and designed to be autonomous and predictive security
enforcement for AI scale data centers and clouds. HyperShield also utilizes its AI-na-
65
tive rule engine to prioritize vulnerabilities and deploy precise mitigating controls that
block exploits in real-time. During a recent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack
on a bank, ThousandEyes rerouted traffic within seconds, preventing service disruption
and mitigating financial losses. AI-driven security frameworks also employ advanced
66
encryption techniques to safeguard sensitive information against unauthorized access.
For example, anomaly detection systems can identify phishing attempts with up to 99.5%
accuracy by analyzing metadata and content patterns. By integrating AI-driven decep-
67
tion technologies, networks can deploy honeypots to lure and analyze malicious actors,
improving proactive threat detection strategies. HyperShield also utilizes its AI-native
rule engine to prioritize vulnerabilities and deploy precise mitigating controls that block
exploits in real-time.

Therefore, by leveraging real-time analytics and automation capabilities, AI enables smarter
resource allocation, reduces environmental impact, and fortifies networks against cyber threats.
These advancements enhance connectivity by making networks more reliable, efficient, and resil-
ient – ensuring broader and more consistent access for users across diverse environments.
This progress reflects the transformative potential of combining digital infrastructure with AI inno-
vation to advance key Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
