Cisco Introduces Privacy-First AI Models for Secure Software Code Analysis

Cisco has introduced Antares, a family of small language AI models (SLMs) purpose-built to tackle one of the most difficult and time-consuming challenges in cybersecurity: finding hidden security flaws within software codebases, on-premises, without externalizing organizations’ data. As organizations race to secure their digital infrastructure, finding vulnerabilities quickly is critical. However, using general-purpose AI to scan code can be expensive and often requires sending sensitive, propri
