Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openA critical security flaw (CVE-2026-76504) in Cisco's Catalyst SD-WAN Manager lets unauthenticated attackers gain admin access by swapping the letter 'j' for its URL-encoded version in a login path. Cisco confirmed active exploitation in September 2026, and CISA gave federal agencies until October 3, 2026 to fix it. This is the fifth actively exploited SD-WAN zero-day vulnerability disclosed in 2026.
Oak View Group (OVG) has named Cisco its Official Technology Partner, with Cisco set to standardize the technology infrastructure across OVG's venue network. Cisco will also become an Official Partner at five specific venues: Climate Pledge Arena (Seattle), UBS Arena (New York), Moody Center (Austin), Acrisure Arena (Palm Desert), and CFG Bank Arena (Baltimore), three of which already use a broad range of Cisco networking, data center, security, and collaboration products.
Zacks Research raised its rating on Cisco shares from 'hold' to 'strong-buy' on Wednesday. The article provides no details on why or any price target.
Cisco's product orders grew 35% year over year in fiscal Q4 2026, but management described its fiscal 2027 AI revenue forecast as prudent, leaving the next twelve months' direction uncertain.
Cisco's combined security and observability products are seeing more customers adopt them, which the article says is helping Cisco compete more directly with Datadog and CrowdStrike in that market.
