Direct answer
What is Cisco AI Defense (formerly Robust Intelligence)?
Cisco AI Defense (formerly Robust Intelligence) is included in the Awesome MLSecOps Model Scanning and Validation directory. The community-maintained README describes it as: “Commercial platform for AI model validation and runtime protection; Robust Intelligence was acquired by Cisco.” Its MLSecOps relevance is the inspection or validation of model artifacts, notebooks, code, dependencies, or model behavior before release and deployment. The linked first-party source is published at cisco.com. A technical review should test the project's documented evidence across four criteria: Supported artifact formats, Detection evidence, False-positive handling, and CI and SARIF output. Compare that evidence with the intended architecture and threat model. Catalog inclusion establishes relevance to this security category; it is not a certification, comparative ranking, or endorsement. Confirm current capabilities, maintenance, licensing, limitations, and deployment assumptions in the first-party documentation before adoption.
