What happens when AI agents outnumber humans in the enterprise?

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, Senior Reporter Sabrina Ortiz sits down with Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, to explore how the rise of AI agents is reshaping cybersecurity, software development, and enterprise strategy.

Jeetu makes a bold prediction: today’s 150 million developers could expand to 3 billion agent builders within the next year. But that explosion comes with serious risk. As nation-states and bad actors deploy autonomous agents at scale, traditional, human-centered security models begin to break down.

This conversation unpacks:
+ Why AI agents are becoming the new attack surface
+ What enterprises must do now to prepare for agent-driven threats
+ Jeetu’s journey from Box to Cisco, and what it taught him about leading through platform shifts
+ Practical advice for learning AI and building in an agent-first world

But this isn't a doom-and-gloom conversation. Jeetu lays out a vision for how security can become an accelerator rather than a limiter, and why the distinction between giving agents access and giving them trusted, governed access will define which enterprises thrive in the agentic era.

If AI agents are the next platform shift, cybersecurity may be the defining battleground.
