“Cisco and the Technology of War Crimes”, 5 February 2025
A US-based digital communications company that provides technologies to the Israeli military, police, and prisons, and to illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Cisco Systems, the world’s largest networking company, makes storage hardware (servers), telecommunications equipment, and Internet of Things (IoT) products. Its subsidiaries, products, and brands include Duo Security, Jabber, Jasper, Meraki, OpenDNS, Silicon One, and WebEx.
