Panoptica and Calisti Signal Continued Advancement of Products and Services Strategy to Connect, Secure, and Observe Modern Applications
Cisco unveiled Panoptica and Calisti, the latest additions to Cisco’s suite of API-first solutions and tools that result in faster application development cycles, and provide businesses with modern application connectivity, security, and observability that is critical for exceptional digital experiences. The announcement was made at Cisco Live, the premiere networking and security event.
Panoptica and Calisti underscore the company’s strategy towards managing and securing distributed application architectures, making it possible for developers to programmatically discover, connect, secure, and observe application programming interfaces (APIs), applications, and workloads across the breadth of their cloud journey from born-in-the-cloud use cases on a singular cloud, to hybrid and multi-cloud architectures that span public, private, SaaS, and edge components.

Cisco is making it possible for developers to not only provision IT infrastructure, but also impact how software and software services are delivered in the API and application development space through a bottom-up adoption and product-led growth (PLG) model, allowing them to try, buy, and scale their usage of tools and solutions in the Cisco portfolio.
“Applications are no longer simply an extension of the brand or an added channel to engage customers—today applications are the business. Cisco is laying the groundwork for a more immersive digital future by rethinking technology, architectures and even operating models with cloud-native, API-first solutions that can be leveraged across every area of business.” said Liz Centoni, EVP, Chief Strategy Officer, and GM of Applications.
