Four of the five high-severity bugs are remote code execution issues affecting Cisco routers, switches, and IP cameras, whereas the fifth vulnerability is a denial-of-service issue affecting Cisco IP phones. Collectively dubbed 'CDPwn,' the reported vulnerabilities reside in the various implementations of the Cisco Discovery Protocol that comes enabled by default on virtually all Cisco devices and can not be turned OFF. Cisco Discovery Protocol is an administrative protocol that works at Layer 2 of the Internet Protocol stack.

Cisco Systems released security patches on Wednesday for high-severity vulnerabilities affecting over a half dozen of its small business switches. "An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious request to the web interface of an affected device," Cisco wrote.
Cisco this week informed customers that some of its Small Business Switches are affected by high-severity vulnerabilities that can be exploited to obtain sensitive device information and to launch denial-of-service attacks. The information disclosure vulnerability is caused by the lack of proper authentication controls and it can be exploited by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the user interface of an affected switch.
Cisco's 2020 Data Privacy Benchmark Study attempts to quantify an often-repeated claim from cybersecurity experts: investment in privacy improves overall cybersecurity. This year, Cisco wanted to examine what other benefits investment in privacy might bring; and more specifically, whether a dollar figure could be applied as an ROI. It queried 2,800 companies from 13 countries in a double-blind survey; and found that an investment of $100 dollars brings $270 in cybersecurity benefits.
Cisco introduced an IoT security architecture that provides enhanced visibility across both IT and OT environments, and protects industrial processes. Cisco is delivering comprehensive security by converging the IT and OT within security operations centers to provide advanced anomaly detection with built-in threat intelligence.
Cisco announced three developments that will help bring about this radical change-an AI infusion, a new customer experience solution, and a new cloud contact center product. Together, they fundamentally transform the customer experience with contact centers, for the better.
Cisco is introducing new AI-powered voice intelligence capabilities to Webex Meetings to help turn talk into action. The Cisco Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings is powered by technology from the recent Voicea acquisition, turning Webex meetings into a digital treasure trove.
