Cisco AI Defense: AI Cloud Visibility

Identify the AI assets across your environment

Discover the models and connected data sources your teams are using to build AI applications. 

Automate the discovery of your AI systems

AI Cloud Visibility provides a consolidated view of the AI assets across your public and virtual private cloud environments, coupled with the data you need to make informed security decisions.

Uncover AI workloads

Developers are moving quickly to build AI applications, deploying models and connecting data. AI Cloud Visibility automatically uncovers the AI assets comprising custom-built AI applications across your distributed environment, including unsanctioned AI workloads. This provides a single-pane-of-glass view that lets you automatically inventory your company's AI security exposure.

Understand usage context of AI assets

It's important to consider the related assets and usage when assessing risk of AI systems, especially for retrieval-augmented generation apps and AI agents. AI Cloud Visibility provides the context needed to make informed decisions about the security of your AI assets, including the associated activity, types of connections, and number of identities accessing unsanctioned models.

See each model's AI security controls

AI models can pose security risks during development and production. AI Cloud Visibility allows you to easily identify the security controls that have been applied to each model. From the dashboard, you can initiate algorithmic vulnerability testing and add policies to guardrails to that protect runtime applications.

Bring your AI assets into scope for comprehensive security coverage

Automated detection across your distributed environment

Automate the discovery of AI workloads across your public and virtual private cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

Spotlight changes to AI assets for expedited review

Quickly assess the new AI assets and updated connections running in your environment with flags to identify the most recent changes.

Find models no matter where they reside

AI Cloud Visibility evaluates network traffic to find models hosted in your data center and cloud environments, as well software-as-a-service (SaaS) services being called by your applications.

Achieve AI security excellence in your organization

AI Defense makes it easy to comply with AI security standards, including the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications. Learn more about individual AI risks, including how they map to standards from MITRE, NIST, and OWASP, in our AI security taxonomy.
