S7 E4: Talking the vulnerability of legacy equipment, protecting network infrastructure, and ensuring ongoing lifecycle management in the AI era, with Anthony Grieco and Eric Wenger
Q: Anthony, what concrete steps is Cisco taking to move customers away from legacy, insecure configurations and towards a secure, modern network by default?
