Move from AI Assistance to AI Action
Humans set the intent. AI agents investigate and execute within defined guardrails, bringing machine speed to network operations without giving up control.
Human-Driven. Agent-Powered.
Autonomy starts with human intent.
Humans define the goals, policies, and guardrails. AI agents investigate, decide, and act within those boundaries, scaling execution while keeping NetOps teams in control.
Manual Operations Don’t Scale
Growing complexity demands a new operational model.
Autonomous Operations extends human expertise with AI agents that investigate and act within defined guardrails, accelerating response without giving up control.
AI Agents Built for Network Operations
Move from insight to action with AI agents that investigate, execute, and operate within defined boundaries.
Investigate Automatically
Agentic Investigation
AI agents gather context, correlate signals, and identify likely root causes.
Take Action Faster
Agentic Execution
Execute approved remediation actions without waiting for manual intervention.
Operate Within Guardrails
Governed Autonomy
Define what agents can access, decide, and execute with policies and permissions.
Automate with Context
Operational Intelligence
Give AI agents cross-domain context to make more informed decisions.
Keep Humans in Control
Human Oversight
Set approval requirements and maintain visibility into agent decisions and actions.
Scale with Confidence
Explainable Actions
Understand what an agent did, why it acted, and the evidence behind the decision.
Designed for Human-Driven, Agent-Powered Operations
Explore how AI agents, Cisco Assurance intelligence, guardrails, and human oversight work together to enable trusted Autonomous Operations.
AI Agents: Investigate, reason, and execute approved actions.
Cisco Assurance Intelligence: Provides cross-domain context and evidence for agent decisions.
Policies & Guardrails: Define agent permissions and operational boundaries.
Agentic Actions: Execute approved remediation workflows.
Operational Telemetry: Provides real-time network and service intelligence.
Human Oversight: Maintains visibility, approval, and control.
Move Faster Without Losing Control
Human-driven, agent-powered operations help NetOps teams reduce manual effort, accelerate response, and confidently scale execution.
Respond at Machine Speed
Accelerate investigation and remediation with AI agents that act within defined guardrails.
Reduce Manual Effort
Automate repetitive operational work so teams can focus on higher-value priorities.
Scale Expert Operations
Extend operational expertise across more incidents, users, sites, and services with AI agents.
Resolve Issues Faster
Move from detection to approved action without waiting on manual handoffs and workflows.
Maintain Human Control
Keep people in command with defined policies, permissions, approvals, and operational boundaries.
Build Trust in Autonomy
Make agent decisions and actions transparent, explainable, and governed as autonomy scales.
How NetOps Teams Use Autonomous Operations
Network Incident Remediation
A network issue impacts users. AI agents investigate, identify the likely root cause, and execute an approved remediation within defined guardrails.
Configuration Remediation
A configuration change degrades service. AI agents identify the issue and execute an approved corrective action.
Proactive Issue Resolution
Telemetry signals emerging degradation. AI agents correlate the evidence and initiate approved actions before impact spreads.
