Cisco and OpenAI redefine enterprise engineering with Codex

Cisco partnered with OpenAI to integrate Codex (an AI code generation tool) directly into their enterprise software engineering workflows, treating it as an AI teammate rather than just a developer productivity tool. By using Codex in production environments, Cisco accelerated development on products like AI Defense (a security solution protecting against AI-related risks), compressing work that normally takes quarters into just weeks, while also automating large-scale defect repairs and build optimization across interconnected code repositories.
