Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) sits down with DJ Sampath (https://x.com/djsampath), Senior Vice President of AI Products at Cisco, for a deep dive into the AI-powered future of networking, security, and the enterprise.

Matt and DJ pull back the curtain on how Cisco is modernizing the internet’s backbone, why the enterprise is ground zero for AI-enabled transformation, and the critical new challenges of AI security as agents multiply by the billions. If you want to understand what’s really next in enterprise AI—and how it connects to your own experience as a consumer—don’t miss this fascinating, forward-looking conversation.
