No more CLI typing. This is where years of DevNet programmability skills land on a real world scenario: Ansible over NETCONF, one file for the posture, and proof the IPsec tunnels actually negotiated ML-KEM and ML-DSA.
A second road to quantum safety: a Postquantum Preshared Key mixes an out-of-band secret into the IKE key schedule that never travels the wire, so even a classical handshake resists "harvest now, decrypt later," on gear not supporting ML-KEM.
We put Diffie-Hellman and ML-KEM side by side on size, latency, compute, and security, and land on the smartest move: a hybrid key exchange that runs both and combines their secrets, so an attacker would have to break both at once.
At Cisco Live 2026 Las Vegas, Cisco introduces a new branch and WAN architecture for the AI era, with AgenticOps, quantum-resilient security, simplified operations, and the expanded Cisco 8000 Series Secure Routers family.
In the ever-evolving threat landscape of cybersecurity, HNDL (Harvest Now, Decrypt Later) is emerging as a silent but serious threat. You don't need a crystal ball to defend against future risks - you need a roadmap. Learn how organizations can act
NIST developed new quantum-resistant cryptographic standards, but operationalizing these standards will require more work.
Using existing encryption and key management technologies, enterprises can realize quantum-safe encryption today without waiting for implementations.
GenAI & Quantum Computing forge a secure path across industry use cases. Where GenAI accelerates analysis, PQC safeguards data from future quantum threats. Together, they unlock a healthier future.
A metamorphosis continues to take shape with the rise of Post-Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Key Distribution, and the brave new world of Quantum Networking.
