Cisco Systems is a global networking leader whose core value for telcos lies in delivering deeply integrated, network-embedded cybersecurity.
Through milestones such as acquiring Duo and Splunk, Cisco uniquely combines identity-driven security with full-stack observability. Its carrier-grade routers act as distributed sensors, using capabilities like Encrypted Traffic Analytics to detect threats within encrypted flows.
Supported by Cisco Talos’ global intelligence, the approach allows telcos to secure their networks from core to edge while unifying NetOps and SecOps for faster, more resilient defence.
