It discovers AI assets like models, agents, datasets, and MCP servers, scans models and MCP servers for risks such as malicious code, runs automated AI red teaming for prompt injection and data leakage risks, and applies runtime guardrails. Two integrations are already live on the ServiceNow Store, built from a partnership Cisco and ServiceNow expanded in April 2025: one feeds discovered assets into Control Tower inventory, the other sends security detections into ServiceNow AI Security Exposure Management for ownership and fix tracking. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does Cisco AI Defense integrate with ServiceNow's Control Tower? Cisco AI Defense feeds discovered AI assets, such as models, agents, datasets and MCP servers, into ServiceNow's Control Tower inventory through the AI Service Graph Connector, and sends AI security detections into ServiceNow AI Security Exposure Management for ownership assignment and fix tracking. Both integrations are available on the ServiceNow Store, built from a partnership expanded in April 2025. _Teams rolling out AI governance tooling can track integration news like this on daily.dev._ ### What security checks does Cisco AI Defense run on AI models and MCP servers? Cisco AI Defense runs Supply Chain scanning to inspect models and MCP servers for risks such as malicious code hidden in model files, AI Red Teaming that runs automated attacks to expose prompt injection and sensitive data leakage both before and after launch, and Runtime Protection that applies security, privacy and safety guardrails to AI applications and agents in real time. _Securing AI pipelines means staying current on scanning and red-teaming approaches like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Cisco Cloud Control: The opportunity for our partners](https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-cloud-control-the-opportunity-for-our-partners-vjgqturjr) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How AI and cybersecurity are reshaping ServiceNow](https://daily.dev/posts/how-ai-and-cybersecurity-are-reshaping-servicenow-mzvfncmpm) · CSO Online · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [NVIDIA and ServiceNow Partner on New Autonomous AI Agents for Enterprises](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-and-servicenow-partner-on-new-autonomous-ai-agents-for-enterprises-soa9r0qsj) · NVIDIA · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Cisco Extends Security Reach to AI Agents](https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-extends-security-reach-to-ai-agents-obkvcicx0) · Security Boulevard · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#mcp](https://daily.dev/tags/mcp), [#cisco](https://daily.dev/tags/cisco), [#ai-security](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-security), [#ai-governance](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-governance) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-ai-defense-joins-servicenow-s-control-tower-alliance-x0vneudwm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Cisco AI Defense joins ServiceNow’s Control Tower Alliance","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-ai-defense-joins-servicenow-s-control-tower-alliance-x0vneudwm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/cisco-ai-defense-joins-servicenow-s-control-tower-alliance-x0vneudwm"},"datePublished":"2026-10-28T20:09:48.598Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T21:36:22.732Z","description":"Cisco has joined ServiceNow's Control Tower Alliance as a founding member, adding security depth to AI governance on the Super Intelligence Control Tower.
