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)

I am a connected contributor with a declared COI. I would like to suggest the following updates to the first paragraph of the lead section.
| − | + | ''Cisco Systems, Inc.''' (using the [[trademark]] '''Cisco''') is a [[United States|U.S.]][[Multinational corporation|multinational]] technology [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]] that develops, manufactures, and sells hardware, [[software]], [[telecommunications equipment]] and other [[high-technology]] services and products focused on [[Networking hardware|networking]], [[cyber security]] and [[Artificial intelligence]]. Cisco specializes in specific tech markets, such as the [[Internet of things]] (IoT), [[Internet domain|domain security]], [[videoconferencing]], and [[energy management]] with [[List of Cisco products|products]] including [[Webex]], [[OpenDNS]], [[XMPP|Jabber]], Duo Security, Silicon One, Hypershield, Unified Edge, and [[Cisco Jasper|Jasper]].

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