About

Cisco is cutting nearly 4,000 jobs, or about 5% of its workforce, despite reporting better-than-expected profit and revenue in its fiscal third quarter. The networking equipment maker said it is reducing headcount to change its cost structure and invest more in AI and cybersecurity. This follows a trend of tech companies prioritizing AI spending while laying off employees. Cisco plans to increase investment in cybersecurity after facing security vulnerabilities and a data breach. CEO Chuck Robbins highlighted record revenue and double-digit growth, while noting strategic investments in AI. This is the latest in a series of layoffs at Cisco, which cut thousands in 2024 and over 150 jobs in 2025.
