Catenaa, Saturday, February 14, 2026-Cisco announced expanded AgenticOps capabilities, extending autonomous, AI-driven IT operations across networking, security, and observability to help enterprises manage distributed environments at scale.
AgenticOps, first introduced last year, provides an agent-first operating model combining intelligent execution with oversight.
The latest enhancements allow IT teams to automate troubleshooting, optimize network performance, and enforce compliance while retaining control over complex workflows.
Across campus, branch, and industrial networks, new features include autonomous investigations that reduce mean time to repair, continuous optimization of performance metrics, risk-aware validation of network changes, and production-ready agentic workflow creation.
For data centers, AgenticOps now delivers early detection, intelligent event correlation, and prescriptive recommendations to improve operations across AI and traditional workloads, with controlled availability starting in June 2026.
Service provider networks benefit from beta capabilities in Crosswork AI for multi-vendor issue resolution.
Security-focused updates in Cisco Security Cloud Control include proactive firewall recommendations, operational optimization for traffic anomalies, and continuous compliance checks.
AI Agent Monitoring within Splunk Observability Cloud tracks agentic applications’ performance, cost, and behavior, soon integrating with Cisco AI Defense to mitigate risks such as data leakage, bias, and prompt injection. General availability is targeted for February 25, 2026.
Cisco said these enhancements address modern operational challenges in cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, enabling organizations to scale AI-driven operations while maintaining reliability, accuracy, and governance.
