en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cisco announced plans to acquire Galileo Technologies, a startup specializing in Artificial Intelligence observability and evaluation, to enhance the observability and trustworthiness of enterprise AI systems. This acquisition aims to address critical gaps in AI infrastructure for ensuring accurate, secure, and compliant model outputs. It is expected to be completed in Cisco's fiscal year 2026 fourth quarter, with both companies operating independently until then.
Galileo Technologies' platform provides end-to-end visibility for the AI agent development lifecycle, enabling teams to evaluate model quality, detect hallucinations and biases, and monitor behavior in production. Unlike traditional tools, its semantic-level monitoring allows organizations to measure the correctness, safety, and relevance of AI-generated outputs, which is particularly important when enterprises deploy multi-agent systems.
Cisco plans to integrate Galileo's technology into its Splunk observability portfolio, extending visibility from infrastructure to AI system behavior and providing enterprises with a unified platform to monitor and manage AI agents. This move reflects an industry shift towards AI governance as a core requirement, positioning Cisco in competition with companies like Microsoft and Datadog to define the control plane for enterprise AI systems.
Cisco stated in the announcement: "Galileo was built to solve one of the most difficult and consequential problems in AI: trust. Its platform enables teams to evaluate AI quality, detect failures before they impact users, and continuously improve AI behavior in production."
Galileo Technologies was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in San Francisco. Co-founded by Vikram Chatterji and Pratik Verma, the company has raised approximately $68 million from investors. It focuses on AI observability and evaluation, helping enterprises operationalize AI systems with measurable quality and governance controls.
