Cisco Systems has announced plans to enhance its Splunk Observability portfolio by acquiring Galileo Technologies Inc.. This acquisition aims to integrate advanced AI observability and protection features into the existing platform. The deal, which is set to finalize in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, is expected to provide Cisco with crucial insights into the performance and risks associated with AI agents throughout their development lifecycle.
Founded in 2021 by industry veterans from major tech companies, Galileo specializes in tools that allow enterprises to monitor and secure their generative AI applications. Their platform has gained traction among a range of clients, including notable firms like Comcast and HP. The financial details of the acquisition remain undisclosed, but Galileo previously raised $45 million in a Series B funding round in 2024, bringing its total funding to approximately $68.1 million.
Galileo will maintain its independent operations until the acquisition is complete, ensuring continuity for its existing customers and projects.
