AI's agentic era will augment worker capacities: Cisco president
Meta Platforms (META) is planning to invest $14 billion into artificial intelligence infrastructure developer Scale AI in a new deal reported by CNBC, the latest headline in the AI Revolution as more firms adopt AI agents onto their platforms. Cisco Systems (CSCO) President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel comes on Catalysts to speak with Madison Mills on the company's investments and acquisition of AI firms, the adoption of AI applications in the workforce, and expansion plans. Catch RBC Capital Markets managing director Rishi Jaluria share his perspective on the software environment and AI adoption amid the Trump administration's economic policies. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here. Meta could pay nearly $15 billion for stake in scale AI, according to a report from the Information, as the company looks to expand its AI ambitions. Joining me now on this and more G2 Patel. He is Cisco's President and Chief Product Officer. Great to have you on this morning, G2. The latest AI investment from a tech company with regards to meta. How are company leaders thinking about AI expansion right now? And are you looking at any potential acquisition opportunities in a similar manner? Madison, it's great to see you and you know, this is such a, uh, accelerated time for innovation in the industry where if you think about what's happening, we are moving in AI from this kind of interactive mode of asking a question to a chatbot and intelligently getting an answer to now moving into this agentic era where agents are going to be able to autonomously, you know, complete tasks and jobs and that's going to have a very different level of, you know, appetite for infrastructure whether it be compute, power, networking, security, those are going to be pretty important, underlying kind of infrastructure components to power this movement. So we are seeing a fair amount of innovation across the board. We are pretty heavily invested in the AI industry. We're actually making sure that, you know, we've had strategic investments in multiple different companies. Uh, and uh, we just about a year ago made sure that we, um, we had a great acquisition with Splunk, which is going really well. And then there's a ton of innovation that's going on. So right now I'm tuning in from San Diego where we have 22,000 of our closest customers that we announced the largest innovation payload in the history of the company yesterday. And the reaction has been palpable because there's so much innovation that customers are starting to do to make sure that they stay relevant in this AI movement. Yeah, and G2, you have obviously been consequential in the company sort of two-year turnaround plan or reinnovation plan, I should say. And it's been interesting as someone who talks to investors a lot to hear them go from describing Cisco as a pure software name to describing it as an AI stock. What are you going to do to continue that momentum? To make sure that investors still see you as an AI play? You know, the the easy answer on that one is you have to keep innovating and staying a step ahead of the market. And uh, we are lucky in the sense that the the natural appetite with this agentic era that we're moving into is that there's going to be a demand for two things that we have in spades. The first one is, uh, you know, low latency, high performance, power efficient networking. And then the second one is safety and security so that we can make sure that we have security becoming an accelerant for adoption in this market because right now if you don't establish trust with the user, they're not going to use AI. So this is a prerequisite for AI as we move forward. So those are the two areas that we happen to be among the largest and uh, you know, we're the largest networking company in the world. We're one of the largest security companies in the world. So it happens to be that we've got the core foundation of the technology to continue to fuel this movement. And G2, I've heard you talk about how we are still just in the early innings when it comes to AI, that will move to more of an agentic AI workforce even going forward. Talk to me about how you are thinking about AI reshaping the labor market going forward here. To what degree do you see replacement of jobs? And how do you think the economy could potentially respond to that as well? You know, any such disruption and re-platforming that happens, there's going to be some jobs that change, but, uh, I don't worry as much about AI taking jobs. I worry about people that use AI better than someone else actually being the right people for the job. And so, um, there, you know, if you look at the agentic area, there's a couple things. Firstly, uh, I would I would urge people to worry less about AI taking the job but think about all the areas where we don't get to because we just simply don't have time. This agentic era is going to actually augment capacity so that we can do things that we weren't able to do because we couldn't get to it. And number two, there's going to be certain things that machines do really well, which then allow us to do things at a higher order. So I'll give you an example. Coding is one of those examples where, um, the way that coding happens today and the way that an engineer spends their time might be very different from the way they spend the time in the next three years because you'll actually see that there'll be autonomous code written, but that doesn't mean that we don't need engineers. It just means that engineers don't need to specialize a certain percentage of the time on syntax, and they can specialize on higher order bits. And and it makes me wonder too about, when we talk about your expansion plans, about the partnership with Nvidia, a move to be able to create this kind of unified architecture to simplify the build out of AI ready AI ready data center networks. To what degree does that partnership with Nvidia allow you to sort of own the networking required for AI and do you see Cisco as the leader in that move? So I'm biased and I definitely do, but if you think about the way that this market's evolving is there's an ecosystem of providers. It's ourselves, it's Nvidia, it's OpenAI, it's AMD, and we all kind of work together to make sure that we can build out these very large capacity data centers that are happening all over the world, frankly, wherever there's availability of power, you're seeing these data centers. And it would be great for having American companies be the ones that are powering and fueling these data centers. And so we happen to be one of them. We happen to have, uh, you know, at scale, one of them, one of the most credible businesses for the data centers. And I was just in the Middle East, Madison, just a couple weeks ago and we announced partnerships with, um, the humane project, which is Saudi Arabia's project for their initiative for doing data center build outs. We also announced a partnership with G42, which is the United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi's effort to do the same. We've announced a partnership with Stargate UAE. So you could start to expect us to be more and more present in all of these data center build outs because there's so much appetite for networking. These AI workloads are network hungry and if you actually delay the packet getting from point A to point B, that actually keeps the GPU idle and that's not a good thing. And for both training and inferencing workloads, you tend to have a fair amount of demand for high speed, low latency, high performance, energy efficient networking. G2, great overview and congratulations on the new role as well. Our first time speaking with you since that promotion. Really appreciate your time this morning. Thank you so much for having me.

G2 Drills Multiple Near Surface Intercepts in New Oko Discovery Area, Significant Sulphide Mineralization Encountered in Deeper Drill Holes
Figure 1 – Oko-Aremu & Puruni Districts, Guyana Figure 2 – Long Section of New Oko District Discovery Figure 3 – Oblique View of New Oko District Discovery Hole AMD18 returns 65m @ 1.5 g/t Au & 9.7m @ 3.1 g/t Au Hole AMD23 returns 52m @ 0.9 g/t Au Hole AMD25 intercepts 70.5m @ 1.8 g/t Au New Oko discovery total strike length of 630m; remains open in all directions TORONTO, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G2 Goldfields Inc. ('G2' or the 'Company') (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) announces new assay results from the Company's ongoing drilling program in the greater OKO-AREMU district, Guyana. G2 currently holds exploration rights to 83,967 acres in the district and the New Oko Discovery Area represents the third significant gold discovery on the Company's holdings. Drill results within this release are part of an ongoing program from a new discovery initially announced in March (see press releases dated March 18, April 1, and April 28, 2025 available on SEDAR+ and the Company's website) which lies 10km north of its existing gold resources at the Oko-Ghanie Deposit (1.5 million ounces indicated at 3.40 g/t Au and 1.6 million ounces inferred at 2.48 g/t Au). Multiple gold targets have been delineated north of existing resources along a 15km trend in which the Company has stationed four active drill rigs. Figure 1 – Oko-Aremu & Puruni Districts, Guyana Figure 1 is available at To date, the Company has completed 47 diamond drill holes totalling 6,439m in the New Oko Discovery Area. Assay results from ten diamond drill holes (AMD16 through AMD25 inclusive) are contained herein. A complete table of drill results is available . Figure 2 – Long Section of New Oko District Discovery Figure 2 is available at Figure 3 – Oblique View of New Oko District Discovery Figure 3 is available at Boaz Wade, V.P. Exploration, stated 'The latest results confirm the continuity of gold mineralization down-dip of the host structure, and along strike to the northeast. Within the consistent broad intercepts along the shear, coherent zones of higher-grade begin to indicate the potential of plunging mineralized shoots that are still open at depth. Extensions of these higher-grade zones at depth and shallow strike extensions to the southwest will be the focus of the next phase of drilling, as we continue to expand this new, exciting discovery.' Discussion Diamond drill holes AMD17 (33.7m @ 0.5 g/t Au), AMD19 (60.2m @ 0.3 g/t Au), and AMD23 (52.0m @ 0.9 g/t Au) have expanded strike length of the deposit by 130m for a total strike length of 630m. Significantly, this new zone remains open in all directions. Hole AMD18 (65m @ 1.8 g/t Au) successfully tested the down plunge continuity of previously reported hole AMD-8 (24m @ 2 g/t Au). Additionally, hole AMD25 (70.5m @ 1.8 g/t Au) successfully tested the down plunge continuity of previously released hole AMD15 (50.5m @ 1.1 g/t Au). Holes AMD18 and AMD25 are located in the central part of the New Oko Discovery Area (as defined to date). Subsequent to the completion of these holes, multiple deeper drill holes in the central area have intersected significant widths of highly mineralized core with up to 7% sulphides for which assays are pending. New Targets to See Maiden Drilling Campaign in June G2 has mobilized equipment and personnel to drill a significant new gold-in-soil anomaly located 4km north of the current drilling campaign. The initial eight-hole program in this new area, the 'RE Zone', will commence shortly and assay results from this program can be expected in mid-July. Patrick Sheridan, Executive Chairman, added, 'The extraordinary successes of one of the best exploration teams in the business continues. We are still in the early stages of exploring this emerging gold district and I am entirely confident in our abilities to meaningfully grow the Company's global gold resources. G2 has first mover advantage in this new mining camp, and thus maintains a very dominant land position with multiple high value targets remaining untested by drilling. The G2 team, led by Dan Noone (CEO) and Boaz Wade (V.P. Exploration), will continue to deliver for shareholders and for the people of Guyana. I am convinced there will ultimately be multiple mines in this district.' QA/QC Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located on the OKO Project site, Guyana. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from sections of core with obvious gold mineralization are analysed for total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish (MSALABS method; FAS-121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods (MSALABS method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of G2 Goldfield's quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported herein. About G2 Goldfields Inc. G2 Goldfields finds and develops gold deposits in Guyana. The founders and principals of the Company have been directly responsible for the discovery of more than 10 million ounces of gold in the prolific and underexplored Guiana Shield. G2 continues this legacy of exploration excellence and success. In March 2025, G2 announced an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE') for the Oko property in Guyana [see press release dated March 10, 2025]. Highlights of the Updated MRE include: Total combined open pit and underground Resource for the Oko Main Zone (OMZ): 513,500 oz.

INE Security Alert: $16.6 Billion in Cyber Losses Underscore Critical Need for Advanced Security Training
New FBI Data Reveals Organizations Need Deeper Technical Expertise to Detect, Contain, and Remediate Advanced Attacks CARY, N.C., June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INE Security, a global leader in cybersecurity training and certification, is emphasizing the urgent need for technical cybersecurity professionals who can detect, analyze, and neutralize threats once they've bypassed initial defenses. The FBI's latest Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) Annual Report reveals a stark reality: cybercriminals extracted a record $16.6 billion from victims in 2024, representing a 33% increase over the previous year. While these losses include both individual and organizational victims, the enterprise-focused attacks highlighted in the report underscore a critical skills gap. The Technical Challenge Behind the Numbers While the FBI report captures the financial damage, the underlying technical reality is more complex: Ransomware Evolution: The 18% surge in critical infrastructure attacks, led by sophisticated variants like Akira, LockBit, and RansomHub, demonstrates that modern ransomware operators are using advanced techniques, including lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration that require specialized detection and response skills. Post-Compromise Detection: The $2.77 billion in Business Email Compromise losses, which primarily target organizations, represent successful attacks that evaded initial security controls. Organizations need security professionals trained in forensic analysis, network traffic analysis, and incident response to identify and contain these threats after they've gained initial access. Cryptocurrency Attack Complexity: The 66% spike in cryptocurrency fraud ($9.3 billion total) includes attacks on both individual and organizational victims, but reflects increasingly sophisticated blockchain analysis requirements and the need for security teams trained in cryptocurrency forensics and threat hunting methodologies. INE Security's Technical Training Response "While the FBI report captures losses across all victim types, the enterprise-focused attacks demonstrate that organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats that require advanced defensive capabilities," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security. "Organizations need security professionals with hands-on technical skills to hunt threats, analyze malware, and respond to incidents with deep technical expertise." INE Security's enterprise training programs address the post-breach reality through: Advanced Threat Detection Labs: Hands-on training with current CVEs and attack techniques, enabling security teams to recognize and analyze the specific TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) used by ransomware groups and advanced persistent threats. Incident Response and Forensics Training: Practical skills in malware analysis, memory forensics, and network traffic analysis that enable rapid threat identification and containment once attackers have gained access. Threat Hunting Methodologies: Proactive detection techniques that help security teams identify compromise indicators before attacks reach their intended objectives. Industry-Specific Attack Simulation: Customized training environments that replicate the specific threats facing manufacturing, healthcare, government, and financial sectors—the industries most heavily targeted according to the FBI data. The Skills Gap Reality The FBI report's emphasis on successful Operation Level Up, which saved victims $285.6 million through proactive identification, underscores the value of skilled security professionals who can proactively hunt threats and analyze complex attack patterns. "The difference between a $10,000 security incident and a $10 million breach often comes down to detection speed and response capability," emphasized Warn. "Organizations with certified security professionals trained in advanced technical skills detect threats in hours rather than months." Enterprise Training That Addresses Real Threats INE Security's enterprise programs are designed around the technical realities revealed in the FBI report: Malware Analysis Training: Hands-on experience with current ransomware families and attack techniques Network Security Monitoring: Advanced skills in detecting lateral movement and data exfiltration Cryptocurrency Forensics: Specialized training in blockchain analysis and cryptocurrency threat hunting Custom Threat Simulation: Industry-specific attack scenarios based on actual threat intelligence For organizations looking to build the technical security capabilities needed to combat the sophisticated threats highlighted in the FBI IC3 report, INE Security offers customized enterprise training solutions. Organizations can request a demo to explore how advanced security training may enhance their detection and response capabilities. About INE Security INE Security is the premier provider of online networking and cybersecurity training and cybersecurity certifications. Harnessing a powerful hands-on lab platform, cutting-edge technology, a global video distribution network, and world-class instructors, INE Security is trusted by Fortune 500 companies worldwide for their cybersecurity training needs, and by IT professionals looking to advance their careers.
