Cisco Splunk AI: Closing the Enterprise Trust Gap at Scale

Cisco Splunk AI: Closing the Enterprise Trust Gap at Scale

Cisco announced major Splunk AI advancements at .conf26, including on-premises AI via Cisco AI POD, real-time agent spending observability, and a multi-year AWS co-development deal. The announcements target the three barriers Cisco says block enterprise AI adoption: trust, cost, and security. ECI Research data shows compliance friction, not capability, is the primary AI adoption blocker in regulated markets.
