Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) is one of the best cybersecurity stocks to buy right now. On September 4, the company confirmed the expansion of its Secure AI Factory with the Nvidia Platform. The expansion follows the unveiling of a new solution designed to accelerate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

While integrating VAST Data’s InsightEngine with Cisco AI PODs, the new solution is designed to provide faster data extraction and retrieval capabilities for agentic AI workloads. Likewise, it is capable of transforming raw data into AI-ready datasets.

“Agentic AI has the potential to unlock the value of AI for enterprises around the world,” said Jeremy Foster, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco Compute, in the press release statement.

The new solution positions Cisco to capitalize on the growing demand for solutions that can enhance the performance of AI applications. That’s because it’s capable of reducing RAG pipeline latency in seconds while also enabling real-time AI responses.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) provides comprehensive cybersecurity solutions across networks, cloud, endpoints, and email through its Cisco Security Cloud platform, focusing on protecting against threats, simplifying security operations, and enabling security resilience.
