Cisco to lay off thousands more in another job cut, Reuters reports

Cisco will cut thousands of jobs in a second round of layoffs this year as the U.S. networking equipment maker shifts focus to higher-growth areas, including cybersecurity and AI, Reuters’ Utkarsh Shetti and Supantha Mukherjee report, citing people familiar with the matter. The number of people affected could be similar to or slightly higher than the 4,000 employees Cisco laid off in February, and will likely be announced as early as Wednesday with the company’s fourth-quarter results, said the sources.
