Why Cisco

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all.

We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses. Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.)

Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us!

Cisco in Security

As the threat landscape continues to expand and become more complex, at Cisco, we have been focusing on building a comprehensive portfolio that ensures end-to-end security for organizations of all sizes. We are continuing to invest in AI and leverage our impressive set of security offerings to protect everything that's connected to an organization, from apps and services to end users. This enables us to provide security that's better for users, easier for IT, and optimized for DevOps, making things safer for everyone.

Through significant investments in cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are empowering security teams with simplified operations and heightened effectiveness. We've recently launched Cisco XDR, which is designed by SOC experts, for SOC experts, to simplify security operations. The introduction of the security service edge (SSE) solution by Cisco enhances hybrid work experiences and simplifies access across diverse locations, devices, and applications. This combines unique level of user simplicity and IT efficiency for frictionless access to all applications (not some) with modern security that delights users and frustrates attackers.

Furthermore, Cisco is previewing the first generative AI capabilities within the Security Cloud, aiming to simplify security operations and increase efficiency. Moreover, new innovations across in Firewall, Multicloud, and Application Security, further deliver on Cisco's Security Cloud platform vision.
