Cisco and Nvidia have unveiled the Cisco Secure AI Factory architecture, which aims to simplify the deployment, management, and security of AI infrastructure for enterprises.

This collaboration builds on the expanded partnership between the two companies, announced in February 2025.

The Secure AI Factory integrates security across all layers of AI infrastructure.

Key features include Cisco Hypershield, which prevents lateral movement, and Cisco AI Defense, which secures AI applications.

The architecture also integrates Nvidia technologies, such as BlueField-3 DPUs and AI Enterprise.
