Cisco will buy WideField Security and fold its identity and session telemetry tech into Splunk’s agentic AI SOC. The deal aims to track human and AI-agent actions in real time, tightening security around automated workflows. It follows Cisco’s recent picks of Astrix Security and Galileo Technologies.
- Cisco is acquiring WideField Security (fresh off an $11.3M Series A) to add real-time identity/session tracking for humans and AI agents into Splunk's agentic SOC.
- This is Cisco's third AI-security acquisition in recent months, following Astrix Security (agent protection) and Galileo Technologies (Splunk Observability).
- The tech aims to catch threats invisible to legacy tools, like authenticated AI processes going rogue, by feeding session-level signals into Cisco's Data Fabric.
- Customer demand for this isn't strong yet, but partners see deep identity tracking becoming essential as AI agents proliferate.
