| | AUGUST 20216CIOReviewThe proliferation of technology in the business world has been an ongoing trend for many years, but never as impactful as right now. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to rework their operational models and optimize cost-saving without compromising on quality. This is where technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Machine Learning, and cloud come into play. For Cisco, the aim is not just to provide all these solutions but also to take them to a whole new level.Since early 2020, digital transformation has driven businesses to facilitate a remote working environment, and cloud architecture is the foundation. As remote working culture continues to grow, Cisco has debuted new products and services for cloud-focused developers and enterprises, which will enable their continued transition to a cloud-centric operation ready to meet the requirements of an increasingly hybrid workforce.When a cloud-based work culture is involved, security is always the next big threat. And Cisco has that covered too. The company recently announced enhancements to its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). These enhancements integrate cloud-native security through its Umbrella platform into the Viptela SD-WAN portfolio, offering protection against Internet and SaaS-based attacks. The company's enhanced security features aim to provide enhanced functionality in the form of data loss prevention, remote browser isolation, cloud-based malware detection, incremental cloud on-ramping with Google Cloud and Megaport, and observability.As the role of technology continues to rise in a post-pandemic world, Cisco will continue to deliver technologies that simplify business operations.
