Why Project Glasswing and Cisco IQ matter to every organisation running a network in Zimbabwe
For years, security teams have worked on a familiar rhythm. A vendor discovers a flaw, publishes an advisory, releases a patch, and IT teams schedule the update for the next maintenance window. That rhythm is breaking. Artificial intelligence is now finding software vulnerabilities faster than ever before, and attackers are using the same technology to exploit them.
On Wednesday, 18 November 2026 at 10:00 CAT, Frolgate Technology Group and Hiperdist, Cisco’s distributor, are hosting a free live webinar on Microsoft Teams to unpack what this shift means for your organisation and how to respond.
What is Project Glasswing?
Project Glasswing is an initiative led by Anthropic that brings together some of the world’s largest technology and security companies, including Cisco, AWS, Apple, Broadcom and Nvidia. Its purpose is to use advanced AI to find and fix weaknesses in critical software before attackers can take advantage of them.
Cisco joined Project Glasswing in April 2026 and has been using Anthropic’s frontier AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, to speed up vulnerability discovery across its own products. According to industry reporting, Cisco scanned more than 1.8 billion lines of code across its portfolio in just eight weeks. That is work that would traditionally take human teams years.
The lesson for businesses is clear. If defenders can now find vulnerabilities at machine speed, so can attackers. The window between a flaw being discovered and being exploited is shrinking from weeks to days, and in some cases to hours.
How Cisco is responding
Cisco has already changed how it delivers security fixes. The company has moved to a scheduled, twice-monthly security release model, giving customers a more predictable patching rhythm as AI accelerates the pace of discovery.
But predictable patches only help if you know which of your devices are affected and which fixes matter most. That is where Cisco IQ comes in.
What is Cisco IQ?
Cisco IQ is Cisco’s AI-powered platform for services and support. It brings together real-time insights, on-demand assessments, troubleshooting and expert guidance in one place. For security and IT teams, it helps answer three questions that every organisation struggles with:
- See everything you have. Cisco IQ gives a clear view of your Cisco estate, including devices, software versions and lifecycle status, so you are not working from outdated spreadsheets.
- Know what to fix first. When Cisco publishes a security advisory, Cisco IQ checks it against your environment and shows which devices are exposed, so your team can prioritise the patches that matter most.
- Defend at AI speed. With assessments covering security advisories, configurations, compliance and quantum readiness, teams can move from reactive firefighting to proactive protection.
Cisco IQ is available as a cloud service, on-premises, or fully air-gapped for organisations with strict data sovereignty requirements. This is an important consideration for banks, government entities and critical infrastructure operators in Zimbabwe.
What you will learn in the webinar
The session will be presented by Vic Mungroo, Cisco Presales at Hiperdist, and will cover:
- See everything you have: How Cisco IQ shows every device, what is nearing end of support, and where you are most exposed.
- Know what to fix first: How to rank risk and plan upgrades in phased waves, not one big bang.
- Defend at AI speed: What Project Glasswing means for how fast you need to respond.
- Live Q&A: Bring your questions for Vic Mungroo, Cisco Presales at Hiperdist.
The session ends with a live Q&A, so bring your questions.
Who should attend
This webinar is designed for CIOs, IT managers, network and security engineers, and risk and compliance leaders. It is especially relevant to organisations in banking, mining, energy, government and other sectors where downtime or a breach carries a high cost.
