2023 Year in Review
“Banner year” is a phrase that can be thrown around a little too loosely – but it may be difficult to overstate just how significant a year 2023 was for Cisco’s Corporate Development and Investment teams. We successfully closed nine acquisitions, announcing two more, including our intent to acquire Splunk for $28B. We made eight investments, focusing on some exciting new solutions such as quantum networking, and cloud threat detection and response. We created a roadmap for the modern Chief Information Security Officer, identifying new themes for modern enterprise, and key pain points managing cybersecurity. We also continued our work in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, making more investments in diverse-led startups from our Aspire Fund, ensuring that diverse-led startups and venture funds have equal access to venture capital. These are just a few of our standout moments from a transformative 2023, and our team leaders go into so much more in the video.
