Meta, Cisco put open-source LLMs at the core of next-gen SOC workflows


Cisco’s Foundation-sec-8B LLM & Meta’s AI Defenders redefine cybersecurity with open-source AI for scalable SOCs.

With cyberattacks accelerating at machine speed, open-source large language models (LLMs) have quickly become the infrastructure that enables startups and global cybersecurity leaders to develop and deploy adaptive, cost-effective defenses against threats that evolve faster than human analysts can respond. With open-source anchoring Foundation AI, Cisco has designed an efficient architectural approach for cybersecurity providers who typically compete with each other, selling comparable solutions, to become collaborators in creating more unified, hardened defenses. This tailored training regimen positions Foundation-sec-8B uniquely to excel at complex cybersecurity tasks, offering significantly enhanced accuracy, deeper contextual understanding and quicker threat response capabilities than general-purpose alternatives.
