Cisco Executives Sell Shares Under 10b5-1 Plan

On March 17, 18 and 20, 2026, Cisco Systems’ Chief Legal Officer, the executive in charge of global sales and the Chief Financial Officer each sold a portion of their common stock under pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Individual transactions ranged from approximately $250,000 to $800,000 (roughly KRW 300 million to 1.1 billion), and all three officers continue to hold hundreds of thousands of shares. Filings noted that these sales included economic rights from restricted stock units (RSUs), deferred stock and accrued dividends.

At RSA Conference 2026, Cisco introduced new security solutions—“AI Defense: Explorer Edition” for agent-based AI security enhancement and the open-source framework “DefenseClaw”—extending its zero-trust architecture into the AI agent domain. In its Q2 earnings release, the company also raised its fiscal 2026 EPS guidance and increased its quarterly dividend to $0.42 per share, payable April 22, underscoring its commitment to both performance and shareholder returns.

Cisco Systems, Inc., headquartered in San Jose, California, is a global leader in network equipment and software, serving the full spectrum of enterprise infrastructure—from switches and routers to security and observability platforms. With the acquisition of Splunk, strategic investments in AI data-center infrastructure and the rollout of agent-based AI security solutions, Cisco is evolving from a traditional networking vendor into a comprehensive “systems platform” company for the AI era.
