Humbled, excited, thrilled, countless emotions to finally see a dream which started in 2019 finally come true - @webex @Cisco goes to space as a part of @NASAArtemis 1 mission on board of @LockheedMartin #Orion spacecraft newsroom.cisco.com/c/r/newsroom/e… proud moment for all #Cisconians

We’re quickly entering an era where agents act as a new kind of workforce, requiring security to evolve even faster. Today, @Cisco announced expanded innovations helping organizations move from experimentation to production, with end-to-end security across AI actions and agents. Super proud of our teams and the hard work that went into today’s announcements at #RSAC! newsroom.cisco.com/c/r/newsroom/e…

To my Product team at @Cisco. Just because you can build it instantly doesn’t mean it is worth shipping. Create a new mental model. Here’s my advice… Be intellectually honest with yourself and if you don’t possess these things, figure out a way to learn them, FAST in order to stay relevant. The rules of the game have changed faster than anyone thought. Don’t fight it. Adjust to the new reality. Keep learning. Stay hungry. Be continually curious. You can change the world now more than anytime in the past. Your future self needs to define success very differently. Internalize this…in the new world more than ever before, the next gen engineer will define success very differently. It looks something like this. - Success requires judgement - Success requires instinct - Success requires clarity in your mind on the most important problem you want to solve - Success requires good taste - Success requires obsession on outcomes - Success requires understanding unit economics. Be cost-aware like an operator. - Success requires extreme emphasis on safety - Success requires that you are a terrific manager of digital agents - Success requires that you move really fast - Success requires that you adopt an entirely new mental model - Success requires constantly learning and unlearning Ponder what it will take to succeed. It will be counterintuitive. It’ll be unsettling. It will take sacrifice. It will be ridiculously hard. It’ll be scary. Yet it’ll be exciting. It’ll allow you to imagine a very different caliber of ambition. At Cisco, we have shipped our first product at this point fully written by AI. Kudos to the AI Defense team. 100% of the code in AI Defense is written by AI. By the end of 2026, we have a conservative estimate of at least half a dozen products written completely by AI. By end of 2027, we will shoot to have 70% of our products written 100% with AI. And these products must be superior in dimensions of quality, performance, simplicity, usability, adoption, and delivering real business outcomes for our customers. I hope you make these goals look ridiculously conservative with the work you make AI agents do for you. It’s time to up-level ourselves. Modern development practices have flipped. I am proud of all of you who are teaching yourself to rethink how you work. Reimagine how you code. Your teams augmented by digital coworkers are going to look very different. You will have many more teammates who will work round the clock. I’m excited for what lies ahead in our innovation journey. Your innovation journey. Move fast. Deliver something magical. Obsess about safety. Let’s build a great freaking company and don’t let your imagination be your constraint.

AI in 2026 isn’t about hype, it’s about real impact. In @BusinessInsider roundup of executive predictions, @Cisco's @aruna13 calls out the rise of connected intelligence—where people, data, and digital workers work seamlessly together, and AI anticipates needs before they arise. Her vision reflects a broader shift toward AI that enhances collaboration and productivity across organizations.

Awful service with @britishairways - 4 business class tickets from SFO to BLR lost all our luggage, and claiming that they'll be able to deliver 48 hours later. Cannot believe the customer service - relayed by Muskan Shaik in BLR airport
