Robust Intelligence

Alias page — merged. Robust Intelligence was acquired by cisco (intent 2024-08-26, closed ~2024-09-24) and its technology became Cisco AI Defense. The canonical, maintained profile lives at cisco-ai-defense — see it for the full write-up, deployment, positioning, and sources.

In one line — AI security/validation pioneer out of Harvard ML research (founded 2019, San Francisco; founders Yaron Singer, Kojin Oshiba, Eric Balkanski, Alexander Rilee). Built one of the first “AI firewalls” and an algorithmic model-validation / red-teaming platform. Now part of Cisco.

History

• [2026-06-28] Stub created from seed registry.
• [2026-06-28] Researched; confirmed Robust Intelligence = Cisco AI Defense (acquired by Cisco, intent 2024-08-26, closed ~2024-09-24). Per the brief, made this a thin alias page pointing to cisco-ai-defense (which carries the full profile) rather than maintaining a duplicate. Set aliases, ownership=subsidiary, confidence high.
• [2026-07-27] URL/status refresh: the Cisco AI Defense product URL returns an Akamai “Access Denied” WAF block to automated fetchers — a bot block, not a dead link. Confirmed still active per corroborating evidence — Cisco maintains a “Robust Intelligence Is Now Part of Cisco” page and AI Defense saw a major 2026 expansion (agentic/AI-supply-chain controls). Acquisition status unchanged and already reflected here. No content changes; last_verified bumped only.
