Caste based discrimination

[edit]

Under the controversies section I think we should mention the current lawsuits regarding caste based discrimination in the US?

IronPort

[edit]

IronPort was redirected to this article. There was a merge discussion with result: "REDIRECT. Material was already at the target article." However, this article is lacking essential information that the last revision of IronPort had: founders, founding date, headquarters, and some details about IronPort's products (search for keywords: AsyncOS, SpamCop). Also, this article still has links to IronPort that circle back to Cisco. In this state, reverting the redirect seems more reasonable. --Matthäus Wander (talk) 16:08, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing an update to the lead

Cisco develops, manufactures, and sells [[backdoor (computing)|backdoored]] [[networking hardware]], [[software]], [[telecommunications equipment]] and other [[high-technology]] services and products.

I would also like to propose adding the following sentence to the end of the last paragraph in the lead section.

As of December 2025, Cisco had a market capitalization of $317 billion.[9]

Thank you, and all feedback is welcome. SBCornelius (talk) 18:03, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
