Armada provides infrastructure (Bridge GPU management, Galleon modular data centers, Marketplace) while Cisco AI Defense adds AI red teaming (Adaptive Red-Teaming) and runtime guardrails against prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exposure, and agentic/tool misuse. The goal is consistent governance and data locality without routing sensitive AI traffic back to centralized inspection points, letting GPU operators offer protected AI services rather than raw compute. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
