>> What are you? This's and who we are today? A za country as a university. Congratulations, Reggie Jackson. You are Cube alumni? >> No. >> Live from San Diego, California. It's the queue covering Sisqo live US 2019 Tio by Cisco and its ecosystem barkers. >> Welcome back to San Diego. Everybody who went to the Cube, the leader in live tech coverage. My name is Dave Volante, and I'm here with my co host Student of the day. One of our wall to wall coverage of Sisqo Live 2019 behind us is the definite zone. A lot of action here. A lot of the C c e E. Folks learning howto code infrastructure. A big trend in the business G written houses here is the senior vice president and general manager of the security business group Francisco. Gee, thanks for coming on the Cube. My pleasure. Thank you for inviting me. So we've been talking on the cube a lot about Cisco coming at it. Multi cloud, for example, from a position of strength, try to convince your customers that your networks air higher performance, more cost effective and very importantly, more secure, of course. And I mean everybody always wants more performance. They want lower costs. Security in many ways has begun to trump those other two attributes. They they become table stakes, security as well. But security is really number one. Now talk about that. Talk about the major trends that you're seeing. >> Well, of course, of course, security now is top of mind for everyone. Board level conversations, executive level conversations all the time. I think what ends up happening is in the past. We would think about it as network performance cost, etcetera security as a tangent kind of side conversation. Now, of course, it's built into everything that we do in the conversations that we have. And it's equally around performance, but also round simplicity, because security tends to be a little bit hard and lots of process. And how do you go through with compliance? Regulations were also folk. He's in a lot of effort on making it simple. >> Okay, so the big trendy, obviously, here's people talk about what you used to put all the money in the perimeter, hardened the perimeter. Now you can't dig a moat anymore. The queen leaves your castle. Yeah, it's a whole new paradigm. Yeah, So customers are realizing that it's a board level topic. Now, how is Cisco responding to that trend specifically? >> Well, quite frankly, what we're doing is taking that old perimeter and moving that perimeter to the appropriate spots Could be your branch. Now doing direct Internet access will move the perimeter to the branch. Could be your users. Your local mobile workforce will move the perimeter to surround those users and, of course, those applications that are sitting in the data center. Now, as they moved to and from the public cloud, we put segmentation, micro segmentation and follow them as well, to those perimeters are breaking down from one giant moat with the queen. Now we have lots and lots of little ones. >> So it's like the cubes do. You could bring it in exactly everywhere, everywhere built in. >> So you know what we know. It's a multi cloud world for customers today. One of the important pieces to help pull together the multi cloud is the SD land piece. Francisco, as a few diff different solutions in that space, an area. I was hoping you could explain that security piece of S t win, because people think of it so It's kind of like the old way, an opt or some of these other things. But security is such an important piece of that, you know, ever growing landscape. >> So you know, it's funny because people are adopting Ston for simplicity as well as lower costs, and the last thing we want to have forced people to do is to have tto bolt on various security solutions. Right then also, you know, the next day your network operations is complex again. So what we did last year was we took part of the security portfolio and built it directly into our on premises ston appliances so that you could take that ston deploy it. And so security is built in. That is a huge, huge market opportunity. And of course, since we also have a secure cloud platform, we're moving that same feature functionality into the clouds. So whether our customers want to secure their ston with technologies on Prem or in the cloud, Cisco has both ends >> covered wound. It ties into the whole development dev ops mentality and Christians appropriate here in the definite soon. But do you want to ask you how have organizations? However, there was security regimes or how are they evolving? How are they changing? It used to be okay. SEC ops. That's your problem, guys. It's your problem. And we know that doesn't work. Yes, a team effort. But talk about the organizational evolution that you're saying. >> We'll not only so the organizational effort. You were seeing a lot of the technology emerge and from an organization perspective, whether it's it's under a CEO or see. So that's a separate conversation. But from a technology perspective, they're getting heavily, heavily integrated. And that is now forcing network people to actually think about policy segmentation security muchmore than they were in the past and, conversely, security people starting to think about mobile devices and networking and things like that. So we're seeing this big blur across the organization, both from an operational perspective as well as processes and work flows. >> What about the role of data and analytics in terms of Howard informs you how that's evolving machine intelligence coming into play? How Cisco exploiting that? What's it going to >> mean for your customers? Well, as the industry leader in terms of security, we consume massive amounts of data. For example, we block 6,000,000,000 events per day. That's more than Google queries, right? We do 185,000,000,000 DNA s queries. That's 5% of the global Internet traffic. Of course, Ria's humans can't like calculate what's the good in the bad? So we rely heavily on machine learning, artificial intelligence and whatnot. We have the largest non government threat research group in the industry, and that's what they do day after day, looking for those needles in a haystack, thes threats in the sea of normal. >> And you can't do that with with alerts. I mean, just that way you've gotta have automation. So in his world of cloud, so so talk a little bit about the automation principles that you guys are done designing into your products. >> Well, security is one of the fields where not only do we have to calculate the alert, but we operate in the environment of false positives. You could turn on like we're going to protect you and block everything. But then also a lot of things that appear as threats actually weren't threats, those air, false positives. So our goal is to protect the enterprise and get zero false positive go all the way to the edge and the way we do that, of course, is not only tow, automate and say these are all your events, but we have to rank. Stack them in terms of importance. There's only a certain amount of time in the day, so you want to go to the most important, most critical event. Automate that, then go next the neck. So we automate but also ranks stack in the presence >> of false and do you see the day? Or maybe you're starting to get their ready where the machine actually acts as an agent for you and certainly, I'm sure a plugs, holes and things like that, but actually takes it one step further and makes decisions about what to go after. So >> in many cases, yes, particularly riel time around files and things like that in other cases? No, because there's a work floor flow there that says I'm actually not going to deploy those firewall >> rules >> until I test them and evaluate them and whatnot. So everything from rial time into probably >> aware you need a human and that you do, in the end, the Yeah, yeah, >> So in an ever 10 changing threat landscape. But, you know, how do you make sure you keep up? Cisco's made a number of acquisitions. How do you make it a seamless, you know, security environment for them, despite all of these various threats and attacks. >> So welcome to my day job studio. So essentially, we've done two things. We've taken all these assets, and we do accumulate and acquire the market leaders in the space. And the first thing that we do is integrate the back end. Though all those events I was telling you about, they're coming from all of these technologies, so we bring them all back so that we can focus on the efficacy. That is a big step, but that's what we do first. Then the second step, once that's done, is to integrate the front end so that the user, the customer, can sit there and go. Oh, I'm tracking an event. It came in through our email. It came in through a firewall, came through our end point and unify the front and experience. But the first thing we do is always on the back, >> so you get a lot of pressure from customers, obviously, because you are the network. You get a lot of pressure for them. But you in a position now, toe, actually lead the transformation with your customers. I mean, the whole paradigm shift, the mind, this shift. And what do you doing along those lines? >> So we are absolutely leading our customers were leading it and secure D A direct Internet access and SD win. The other thing that we've been investing heavily is in zero trust. So instead of just allowing everyone on the network and follow the threats we acquired Duo last year the leader in M F A. A and zero Trust. And now we're integrating that into the network so that we can also establish trust. But then block and verify. >> Craigie, I know you gotta jump, so thanks so much for your time. I recognize you. Thank you so much for coming. You're welcome. Great to have you. All right, keep it right to everybody. We'll be back with her next guess right after this short break, David, want a student at Lisa? Martin is also here. You watching the Cube from Cisco Live? San Diego back? >> No,
