Accelerate Security Operations With Cisco's New Security-Tuned Model
Cisco, Thursday, February 12th, 2026
We are announcing the availability of a new custom-tuned Foundation-Sec-8B-1.1-Instruct model that powers a key integration between Cisco Foundation AI and the Splunk AI Assistant in Security in Splunk Enterprise Security.
The Splunk AI Assistant in Security is available to all Enterprise Security customers on the Splunk-hosted AWS cloud. It supports SOC analysts in their day-to-day work by automating and accelerating common tasks. Among other capabilities, the Splunk AI Assistant can generate investigation reports, write SPL queries, and summarize alerts. In particular, alert summaries help SOC analysts reduce investigation time by providing a concise yet comprehensive view of each alert, including a high-level overview, a summarized alert timeline, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and recommended next steps. In this release, the Splunk AI Assistant in Security summary skill is powered by a custom-tuned Foundation-Sec-8B-1.1-Instruct model.
