3 Ways Secure Modern Networks Unlock AI’s True Power
Organisations in Africa and globally are at a crucial juncture: recognising that their network is not just a passive conduit for AI, but the very engine that fuels its operations. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming the core driver of innovation and growth, reshaping industries. However, many businesses aren’t adequately equipped to fully leverage AI’s capabilities.
Strengthening AI with a Robust Network
The Cisco AI Readiness Index underscores a significant gap. In South Africa, only 18% of companies are fully AI-ready, slightly higher than the global average of 13%. This low level of readiness has stagnated over the last three years. Even with 93% of organizations planning to deploy AI agents and 44% expecting them to collaborate with employees within the year, less than a third feel their current IT infrastructure can support modern AI demands. This readiness shortfall has major implications for any business aiming to thrive in an AI-driven economy. Scaling AI capabilities confidently relies on a foundation of a secure and intelligent network. A secure network is critical for the future of AI.
