Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. LAS VEGAS \u2013 Anthropic Mythos put a spotlight on how agentic AI is changing the game for cybersecurity, causing enterprises to\u00a0rethink how their security teams are structured\u00a0and how they can prevent AI-based threats.\u00a0“AI changes the speed of defense. The bad corollary to that is it’s empowering our adversaries at a pace that we’ve never seen in our career,” said Chuck Robbins, CEO of Cisco, in a keynote Tuesday at Cisco Live.\u00a0\u00a0(Source: Kelsey Ziser\/InformationWeek) Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins presented a keynote at Cisco Live 2026 in Las Vegas.While AI-based threats are on the rise, there’s also an opportunity to use AI to thwart cybersecurity threats. But in order to do so, enterprises will also need to overcome the “AI trust deficit,” according to Jeetu Patel, president and chief product officer for Cisco. “One of the biggest challenges people have with [AI] agents right now is they don’t trust it, and if you don’t trust it, you’re not going to delegate work to them to use them,” said Jeetu during his keynote Tuesday.Related:Anthropic’s Mythos forces a rethink of vulnerability managementSolving the “AI trust deficit” will require observability across the entire AI stack, which includes achieving visibility and insights into application runtime and model performance, Patel explained. That requirement is easier stated than accomplished.\u00a0“AI agents are kind of like teenagers. They’re supremely intelligent, but they have no fear of consequence, and sometimes they do stupid stuff. So, you need to make sure that you can protect the world from them,” Patel said.\u00a0Cisco is working with other networking and technology companies to examine how enterprise customers can improve their cybersecurity strategies in the AI era. As part of\u00a0Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, Cisco was among the first 50 open source, networking, and cybersecurity companies tasked with testing the Anthropic Mythos AI model, which can both identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source codebases.\u00a0By participating in Project Glasswing, “Our goal was to understand how we could safeguard our customers, how we could come together as a broader ecosystem to work on AI-powered defense and to stop AI-powered threats,” Robbins said. He added that AI-based threats have the potential to have far-reaching implications for businesses, governments, and society overall.\u00a0Anthropic said in statement Tuesday it is extending its Project Glasswing partnership to approximately 150 new organizations.Three-pronged approach to agentic security\u00a0Patel discussed how Cisco is working with enterprises in securing their agentic workforce via three main goals: by protecting AI agents from external threats, preventing AI agents from creating cybersecurity threats, and detecting and responding to threats “at machine speed.”Related:Confidential computing resurfaces as security priority for CIOsCisco’s AI threat strategy includes the launch of\u00a0Cisco Cloud Control\u00a0this week, available on a limited basis in the US. It’s currently being used by about 60 organizations including semiconductor company AMD.\u00a0Cisco Cloud Control expands on last year’s launch of\u00a0Security Cloud Control. The new product is a cloud-based network infrastructure management platform that embeds security services with a number of other IT and networking infrastructure applications \u2013 both Cisco applications and 50 third-party vendors’ applications \u2013 on a single platform.\u00a0Enterprise customers don’t want to be system integrators anymore, but are looking to vendors to provide these types of integrated platforms, Robbins said during a press and analyst conference after the keynotes. \u00a0Patel said he believes that \u2013 with AI \u2013 the ability to analyze every security signal\/alert is within reach, predicting the emergence of agentic SOCs that can quickly identify and prevent network anomalies. But for SecOps teams to operate at “machine speed and scale,” they will need to invest in network visibility, threat validation, and security guardrails for AI agents, he said.Related:Deepfakes become an enterprise risk for CIOs and CISOs
