Cisco Live Protect is an inline mitigation system that embeds the Isovalent Tetragon eBPF agent into NX‑OS to apply targeted "shields" (eBPF policies) against control‑plane and user‑space attack vectors. Shields run in a monitor mode to capture telemetry for compliance review and can be switched to enforce mode to drop exploit traffic immediately, enabling rapid protection prior to formal software patching; the article covers architecture, workflow, and planned platform expansion.
