Strategic signal
In July 2026, Cisco Investments participated in a funding round for Zafran Security, following news of the founder's departure and earlier talks of Cisco acquiring the company at a steep discount. This investment signals continued strategic interest from a major industry player despite internal changes, suggesting a potential validation of Zafran's technology or market position, even if the terms of engagement have shifted from an outright acquisition to a strategic investment.
