CWS engagement

How CWS works with Cisco AI Defense

CWS helps customers evaluate, deploy, and operate Cisco AI Defense products as part of an AI security program. Engagements span vendor selection, proof-of-concept design, integration with existing controls, day-2 operations, and exit planning if the fit changes over time.

CWS does not resell Cisco AI Defense. The recommendation is honest, evidence-based, and tied to the customer's posture gaps — not to channel economics.
