RSAC 2025 Keynote: Cisco open-sources AI security tools

Cisco set the tone at Monday's RSA Conference keynote by announcing a major open-source initiative aimed at securing the future of AI, while other speakers laid out how the industry must adapt to a rapidly changing battlefield. Jeetu Patel, Cisco's executive vice president and chief product officer, unveiled Foundation AI - a purpose-built, security-specific AI model trained on cybersecurity data. The model isn't just open source in concept - Cisco is releasing the actual trained model weights as well, allowing researchers and developers to inspect, adapt and fine-tune it. Alongside that, the company is open sourcing its full tooling framework, inviting the global security community to collaborate on safer, more transparent AI systems.

The Cyber AI Profile, currently in development, could help firms better prepare for hackers that use AI tools to enhance their cyberattacks, a top NIST official said at the RSAC Conference.
