What a bunch of stupid responses. You want to wait for a competitor's validation by considering Cisco as a worthy opponent? Their strategy is to underplay us and keep bringing up past mistakes. If you are internal folks, shame on you for not recognizing good products/ideas.
Security is a bright spot.
Anyone saying otherwise isn’t in the new BU.
In fact, it’s not even referred to as “SBG” anymore, which is a big tell for people posting “SBG”.
Well the entire sales organization now has 20% of their second half comp tied to Security.
Can confirm. I work in SBG and I'm d-mb as sh-t.
Some of the absolute d-mbest people work in SBG
"What is SBC actually doing?"
The main goal of SBG leadership is to constantly creating fake projects, keeping employees busy working for paychecks and do this for as long as they can until all their customers switch to competitors.
DB and RC in SBG are fired effective immediately!
Next is G2 and SS
Cisco Security organization should be entirely closed. It is irrelevant and does not bring any value to Cisco. Get rid of it!
We are fully hitching the wagon to AI. God help us. 😂
Because Cisco's security product are garbage. Not even worth getting a CCIE over.
Hype shield to the rescue!

And finally by J3 - the next version!
Splunk will lift Cisco up. Stock is already reflecting that and will likely surge along with the revived economy.

You forgot Fortinet. It is interesting that 15 years ago Cisco and Checkpoint owned the firewall market. Now it is Palo and Fortinet (and Zscaler for the new SSE area). Missed the boat. Of course similar things are happening with Collab, Data Center. Still have a large share of campus switching, wireless, WAN, but that is eroding also.
