## Resource

How has AI changed cybersecurity and enterprise networks? In this interview, Michael (General Manager for Cisco's Campus Networking) joins David Bombal to discuss the real-world impact of agentic AI, physical AI, and modern security threats. Discover why the U.S. cybersecurity agency (CISA) reports that the mean time to exploit vulnerabilities has plummeted from 10 months to just 10 hours due to AI systems chaining CVEs together. Learn how autonomous agents are shifting campus and branch environments from traditional north-south traffic to massive east-west flows, creating up to 9x the bandwidth demand. Michael breaks down how network segmentation and "least agency" protect data, how Cisco Live Protect utilizes eBPF inside the Linux kernel to create a compensating shield before a patch is ready, and how line-rate encryption with post-quantum cryptography protects against "harvest now, decrypt later" threats. Finally, find out why network engineering remains an incredibly critical, high-demand career path in 2026.
