Cisco in Security
As the threat landscape continues to expand and become more complex, at Cisco, we have been focusing on building a comprehensive portfolio that ensures end-to-end security for organizations of all sizes. We are continuing to invest in AI and leverage our impressive set of security offerings to protect everything that's connected to an organization, from apps and services to end users. This enables us to provide security that's better for users, easier for IT, and optimized for DevOps, making things safer for everyone.
Through significant investments in cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, we are empowering security teams with simplified operations and heightened effectiveness. We've recently launched Cisco XDR, which is designed by SOC experts, for SOC experts, to simplify security operations. The introduction of the security service edge (SSE) solution by Cisco enhances hybrid work experiences and simplifies access across diverse locations, devices, and applications. This combines unique level of user simplicity and IT efficiency for frictionless access to all applications (not some) with modern security that delights users and frustrates attackers.
Furthermore, Cisco is previewing the first generative AI capabilities within the Security Cloud, aiming to simplify security operations and increase efficiency. Moreover, new innovations across in Firewall, Multicloud, and Application Security, further deliver on Cisco's Security Cloud platform vision.
Why Cisco?
#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters – with people like you!
Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’s optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world – whether through 5G, or otherwise.
We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another – from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).
We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco

Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.
