Why Agentic AI Is the Future of Secure Networking

In this episode of Built for Trust, Nick Lippis sits down with Kelly Ahuja, CEO of Versa Networks, for a candid and insightful conversation on the future of secure networking—and why agentic AI is at the center of it.

From Versa’s early vision of “security built-in, not bolted on” to the company’s unified software stack powering SD-WAN, SASE, and beyond, Kelly shares how the team is reshaping the way organizations protect and scale their infrastructure. You’ll hear how agentic AI moves beyond observability to autonomous action, why AI is essential for reducing operational burden, and how Versa is enabling global customers to detect threats at the edge, adapt in real-time, and build predictive, resilient networks.

Whether you’re leading IT strategy or just trying to stay ahead of the next wave of innovation, this episode is packed with practical insight into the intersection of AI, security, and scalability.
