Firewalls as we know them just changed with major announcements from Cisco. A very big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video. Cisco have announced both an AI Assistant and EVE (Encrypted Visibility Engine) to scan encrypted traffic. // Cisco news detail // AI Assistant for Firewall Policy: The Cisco AI Assistant for Security is first going live within the Cisco Cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center and Cisco Defense Orchestrator to solve the big challenge of setting and maintaining complex policies and firewall rules. Administrators can now use natural language to discover policies and get rule recommendations, eliminating duplicate rules, misconfigured policies, and complex workflows with increased visibility as well as accelerated troubleshooting and configuration tasks. AI-powered Encrypted Visibility Engine for All Firewall Models: Most datacenter traffic today is encrypted-and the inability to inspect encrypted traffic is a key security concern. Decrypting traffic for inspection is resource-intensive and fraught with operational, privacy, and compliance issues. With the 7.4.1 Operating System now available across the entire Cisco Secure Firewall family, customers see AI go even further via the Encrypted Visibility Engine. The Encrypted Visibility Engine leverages billions of samples, including sandboxed malware samples, to determine if the encrypted traffic is transporting malware. It can tell which operating system the traffic is coming from and what client application is generating that - all without the need for decryption. // DJ Sampath SOCIAL // LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/djsampath/ Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/djsampath // David SOCIAL // Discord: https://discord.com/invite/usKSyzb X / Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidbombal // MY STUFF // https://www.amazon.com/shop/davidbombal // MENU // 00:00 - Firewalls of the future 01:22 - DJ's Introduction 03:41 - Acquired by Cisco 04:14 - Hype Behind AI 05:49 - Big New Firewall Announcement 10:40 - The What, How and Why of This New Software 14:30 - Can This Be Trusted? 15:15 - Hallucinations 17:13 - New AI Demo 20:15 - Old vs New Way of Interacting with Tech 21:24 - Launch Info 22:18 - The Benefits of an Conversational Interface 25:11 - Training Data 29:00 - Retrieval-Augmented Generations 29:44 - AI-Powered Encrypted Invisibility Engine 33:39 - How Does This Affect Job Security and Opportunity 36:28 - Guidelines for Entering the AI Space 40:58 - Where Will the World be in 5 Years 42:00 - Conclusion and Outro cisco cisco firewall cybersecurity networking ai artificial intelligence Please note that links listed may be affiliate links and provide me with a small percentage/kickback should you use them to purchase any of the items listed or recommended.

Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video! (And for the FREE Ethical Hacking Training!) Commercial spyware use is on the rise, with actors leveraging these sophisticated tools to conduct surveillance operations against a growing number of targets. Cisco is deeply concerned by an increase in the rate of high-sophistication attacks on network infrastructure — that we have observed and have seen corroborated by numerous reports issued by various intelligence organizations — indicating state-sponsored actors are targeting routers and firewalls globally. // FULL Detailed Interviews // Martin: • Biggest Cybersecurity Threats you nee...
