Cisco Settlement with Cybersecurity Whistleblower Blazes Trail

Cisco has broken new ground by settling a whistleblower’s claim that the company sold video surveillance software with critical cybersecurity flaws even after being alerted to the problem. So reports Reuters.

Cisco agreed to pay $8.6 million to end the eight-year-old legal dispute, including $1 million to the whistleblower, James Glenn. The rest will mostly go to the federal government and state agencies that bought the software.

The deal sets a precedent as the first cybersecurity-related payout in a False Claims Act case.
