Cisco has announced its intention to acquire Galileo Technologies, a dynamic player in the observability for AI space that’s helping make AI more reliable, trustworthy, safe, efficient, and observable.
Galileo Technologies specializes in observability for AI. While traditional monitoring focuses on technical signals such as latency or error messages, Galileo’s platform dives deeper by analyzing the quality of the AI output in real time. It enables AI teams to detect errors even before they reach the end user and provides guardrails to keep the systems within safe boundaries.
Galileo’s platform provides real-time observability and guardrails for multi-agent systems across the agent development lifecycle and has been adopted across the enterprise as the industry standard for instilling trust in their AI agents.
“Galileo will strengthen Cisco’s Splunk Observability portfolio and supercharge our current AI Agent Monitoring capabilities in Splunk Observability Cloud, giving customers real-time visibility and protection into the full agent development lifecycle (ADLC),” said Kamal Hathi, Senior Vice President and GM
Splunk, a Cisco company. “Beyond this, Galileo gives teams a single platform to instrument every stage of the ADLC with the rigor that enterprises demand. It is a complete solution that enables deeper insights from the earliest stages of prompt optimization and model selection, through evaluations, all the way to production monitoring, observability and enforcing guardrails.”
The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 of Cisco’s fiscal year 2026. Between now and then, both companies will continue operating independently.
