NLIT Summit is a cornerstone event for IT and Cybersecurity professionals within the Department of Energy (DOE) complex, dedicated to discussing the IT and cybersecurity operations that underpin some of the most important research in the world. Join Cisco at Booth #600—located alongside Splunk at Booth #501—at NLIT Summit 2026 (May 4-7, Kansas City Convention Center) to explore our latest innovations, including Cisco Secure AI, and see how we’re empowering the DOE community. 

Here’s a sneak peek at Cisco’s upcoming speaking session that you won’t want to miss: 

“The AI Nervous System: Securing lossless networks from Core to Edge at Scale” 

Tuesday, May 6, 10:40–11:10 AM  | Kansas City Convention Center, Room 2201 

Join Kori Rongey, Federal Solutions Engineering Leader at Cisco, to explore how AI-ready networks serve as the “nervous system” for your laboratory, enabling the low-latency, high-throughput connectivity needed for petabyte-scale datasets. We’ll move beyond the basics to discuss how to integrate Zero Trust security directly into the fabric of your network, ensuring that your research data remains protected without sacrificing the performance your scientists demand.  

This session will provide IT leaders with a practical roadmap for modernizing network infrastructure to support AI and keep DOE networks operating at the speed of innovation.   

We look forward to connecting with you in Kansas City soon!
