AI agents are powerful, but they currently operate in silos. At Outshift, we’re leading the shift to the Internet of Agents - an open, interoperable infrastructure that lets agents work together. Learn more about what we're building on CIO: cs.co/63326BECZ4j

The rise of the ‘internet of agents’ and why it changes everything

Your AI agents are about to start interacting with systems your company doesn’t control. Most enterprises are not prepared for what that means.

Connecting AI agents is just the start. The real leap happens when they reason and act together. Catch our lightning talk, "From connected agents to collective intelligence," at the Cisco booth during Ai4 2026 on August 5th and 6th. Full details here: cs.co/63321B16uyW

At Outshift, we see PQC as an infrastructure necessity, not a software patch. With 91% of orgs lacking a roadmap and a 2035 migration mandate ahead, we’re helping organizations move from reactive to proactive security. Learn more on the Outshift Blog: cs.co/63326BEFmPE

What’s next for AI agents? Outshift is building the future. Watch Vijoy Pandey explain how the Internet of Cognition enables agents to share intent, build shared context, and reason collectively. See how: cs.co/63325BEFYd9

Scaling out superintelligence with Vijoy Pandey

In deploying today’s multi-agent systems, we’re discovering that agents can connect. They cannot think together. In this video, Vijoy Pandey explains how the Internet of Cognition inspires from human semantic evolution to enable agents to also finally share intent, build shared context, and reason collectively.

Agents need more than connectivity—they need coordination. Guillaume de Saint Marc joins the AI in Business podcast to discuss why coordination infrastructure is the next big hurdle for enterprise AI. Listen: cs.co/63325BDvppx

The AI in Business Podcast: From Connected Agents to Collective Intelligence with Guillaume De Saint Marc of Outshift by Cisco

As enterprises move from single to multi-agent AI deployments, a coordination infrastructure problem is emerging that connectivity protocols alone cannot solve. In this episode, Guillaume de Saint Marc, VP of Engineering at Outshift, examines why agents that can communicate still fail to collaborate — and outlines the semantic alignment, shared memory, and authorization architecture required to address it. The discussion covers specific failure modes in production multi-agent systems, the organizational security and observability decisions that determine whether agentic deployments scale, and how open standards protect enterprises from vendor lock-in as the space evolves.   This episode is sponsored by . In this episode, we cover why enterprises scaling multi-agent AI need more than connected agents — they need shared semantic grounding, persistent memory, and fine-grained authorization to enable genuine collaboration.
