Yesterday, Cisco unveiled intent-based networking solutions that according to the company, represents one of the most significant breakthroughs in enterprise networking.

This is in respect to Cisco’s vision to create an intuitive system that anticipates actions, stops security threats in their tracks, and continues to evolve and learn. The company says this will help businesses to unlock new opportunities and solve previously unsolvable challenges in an era of increasing connectivity and distributed technology.

This new network is the result of years of research and development by Cisco to reinvent networking, making it possible to manage millions of devices in minutes.

“The network has never been more critical to business success, but it’s also never been under more pressure,” said Chuck Robbins, chief executive officer for Cisco. “By building a more intuitive network, we are creating an intelligent platform with unmatched security for today and for the future that propels businesses forward and creates new opportunities for people and organizations everywhere.”

With this new approach, Cisco is changing the fundamental blueprint for networking with re-imagined hardware and the most advanced software. This shift from hardware-centric to software-driven networking will enable customers to experience a quantum leap in agility, productivity and performance.

Speaking about the new development, the General Manager of Cisco Nigeria Olakunle Oloruntimehin, said “Cisco’s Encrypted Traffic Analytics solves a network security challenge previously thought to be unsolvable; ETA uses Cisco’s Talos cyber intelligence to detect known attack signatures even in encrypted traffic, helping to ensure security while maintaining privacy.”

Already several leading global enterprises and organizations are conducting field trials with these next-generation networking solutions, including NASA and Accenture.
