hours reduction in downtime.
THE AGENTIC ENTERPRISE
Operationalize digital resilience for the agentic era
Predict and prevent at machine speed to minimize costly downtime, with AI you can trust.
THE CHALLENGE
The margin for error has disappeared
The average cost of downtime has reached a staggering $600 billion across the Global 2000. Maintaining resilience is critical due to:
- Machine-speed threats: Adversaries execute sophisticated attacks with AI. Remediation windows have shrunk from months to minutes.
- Fragmented data: Siloed data across security, networking, and IT creates vulnerabilities and blind spots — and slows response times.
- Costly AI: Models and agents without strict guardrails trigger large costs and non-compliant outcomes that hurt businesses.
The New Requirements
What is digital resilience in the agentic era?
Digital resilience maintains secure operations despite system failures, infrastructure complexity, and cyberattacks. It isn’t just about recovery. It’s about anticipation, prevention, and machine-speed response. It requires:
- Ability to predict and prevent at machine speed, at scale.
- Agent behavior guardrails, traceability, and cost control.
- A unified data foundation for security and observability — with context.
The Solution
Why Splunk for digital resilience
To move from reactive recovery to machine-speed prevention, you need a unified approach to data, insights, and AI that only Splunk and Cisco deliver.
One data fabric, one truth, every signal
Maintain a single source of truth and cost-effective, AI-ready foundation for machine data. Retain petabytes of data and query it in place — eliminating blind spots across security, IT, and network.
Predictive insights, quick resolution
Correlate telemetry across security, IT, and network domains to spot anomalies early. Shift from reactive troubleshooting to predicting and preventing disruptions before they impact your business.
Trusted, agentic automation
Pair your experts with agents like AI SRE to remediate at machine speed. Built-in governance ensures workflows are authorized, auditable, and cost-controlled.
Frequently asked questions
Digital resilience is the ability to maintain continuous, secure operations despite system failures, infrastructure complexity, and cyber-attacks. And it’s the ability to quickly recover if disruptions occur. In the agentic era, digital resilience requires going beyond recovery to anticipation, prevention, and machine-speed response.
The agentic era introduces three fundamental shifts to digital resilience:
- Speed of adversaries: Frontier AI enables threats to move across silos at machine speed. Siloed point solutions lack the comprehensive context needed to detect these advanced attacks, leaving human defenders unable to keep pace.
- The cost of agentic AI risks: Deploying AI agents without strict guardrails introduces new financial and compliance risks, such as unpredictable compute costs and ungoverned, non-compliant actions.
- Trusted, agentic automation: Resilience is no longer just about human teams reacting to downtime. It now requires pairing experts with AI agents — like Splunk AI SRE — to investigate and resolve complex issues, while letting agents execute low-risk actions autonomously.
In the agentic era, the proliferation of agentic AI leads to new challenges that require new solutions, such as machine-speed threats, high costs of ungoverned and rogue AI, and explosion of data volumes.
Cisco Data Fabric — an open architecture powered by the Splunk Platform — is the AI-ready data foundation for the agentic enterprise. It unifies data, context, and action across every domain, storage tier, and third-party system. It provides the visibility, tiered data economics, and AI-ready foundation required to move from reactive tasks to autonomous operations. Lifecycle-spanning controls extend security, compliance, and auditability to human users and autonomous workflows.
