Cisco Live 2016: Analyst Take On Important Security And Networking Announcements You May Have Missed

Cisco Live is Cisco Systems' annual education and training conference, held in multiple countries worldwide and attended by their customers, partners, resellers, press and analysts. Two weeks ago, I attended the U.S. analyst conference held in Las Vegas, July 11-12, called C-Scape, which is a “sub-show” inside of Cisco Live. This conference is always a good opportunity to get a finger on the pulse of what's going on at Cisco Systems and here were the big announcements that were made that week, and some of my takeaways. I may do a follow up on C-Scape later in the month where I got up close and personal with Cisco's senior executives, including CEO Chuck Robbins, but the following are about the Cisco Live announcements.
