Attackers don’t wait. Ransomware, phishing, deepfakes, and insider threats are not just increasing in volume; they are adapting in real time. Can your cybersecurity posture keep up without intelligent automation?
AI is already part of the attacker’s toolkit. It should be part of your defence too. But tools alone aren’t enough. You need architecture, visibility, response, and expertise. This is where a Cisco Gold Partner like Proactive brings clarity and control.
Forget the hype. AI in cybersecurity serves clear functions. It detects patterns across billions of signals, flags anomalies that escape signature-based detection, reduces false positives, and automates incident response using behaviour models.
Cisco has embedded AI across its security stack – from Duo’s adaptive authentication to XDR and Secure Firewall. But to translate that technology into operational resilience, you need a certified partner who understands the ecosystem end-to-end.
Cisco Gold Partners are not just resellers. They are certified for architecture, implementation, and lifecycle management. That means they understand Cisco’s AI-enabled security products, can integrate AI with your existing network and apps, and have experience managing deployments for regulated sectors.
Proactive is one of the few Gold Partners in India with dedicated security specialists trained across the Cisco Secure portfolio, from endpoint to edge to cloud. We’ve helped healthcare chains roll out Duo MFA to meet compliance, IT/ITES firms deploy AI-assisted SecureX with XDR, and mid-size enterprises shift from reactive alerts to proactive containment.
The real value of AI in cybersecurity is speed. It helps detect abnormal behaviour across users, devices, and endpoints. It isolates and contains incidents before they spread. And it reduces SOC fatigue by prioritising alerts.
That speed is what keeps operations running.
That speed is what customers and auditors expect.
That speed is what AI delivers when correctly deployed.
Cisco’s AI-enabled XDR, for example, uses global telemetry and machine learning to correlate threats across email, endpoints, and network traffic. When implemented by a certified Cisco Gold Partner, it forms a unified defence grid, not just a patchwork of tools.
Large enterprises aren’t the only targets anymore. Mid-sized businesses are facing the same attacks, without the same resources. According to a 2024 Cisco Security Outcomes Report, 55% of Indian SMBs faced at least one security incident involving AI-generated content or deepfake phishing. The same report found that SMBs using AI-assisted defence reduced dwell time by over 65%. You may not need a SOC of 30 analysts. But you need systems that can think and respond at machine speed.
We’ve worked with clients across IT/ITES, healthcare, and manufacturing. We’ve rolled out Zero Trust frameworks with Duo and Umbrella, automated incident response using SecureX and XDR, and conducted AI-readiness audits for their security stack. And we do this with full visibility, auditability, and alignment to Cisco’s global best practices. Backed by 24x7 managed services.
If you’re unsure whether your security setup is AI-ready, let’s talk. We’ll assess your stack, identify gaps, and help you build a response system that doesn’t blink.
Protect your business with a Cisco Gold Partner that understands both AI and attackers.
