Observability may be the latest buzzword in an industry loaded with them, but Cisco will tell you the primary goal of the technology is to help enterprises get a handle on effectively managing distributed resources in ways that have not been possible in the past.

The idea of employing observability tools and applications is a hot idea. Gartner says that by 2024, 30% of enterprises implementing distributed system architectures will have adopted observability techniques to Boost digital-business service performance, up from less than 10% in 2020.

“Today’s operational teams have tools for network monitoring, application monitoring, infrastructure monitoring, call monitoring, and more, but they rarely intermingle to provide a cohesive view of what’s going on across the enterprise,” according to Carlos Pereira, Cisco Fellow and chief architect in its Strategy, Incubation & Applications group.

Observability looks to address real problems by gathering information across domains and using it to show how one domain influences another and to predict problem areas or trigger incident management, Pereira said.

“By using observability tools, the business is able to determine the state of its applications with a high degree of certainty and understand how their services impact business key performance indicators and customers’ digital experience,” Gartner wrote in a latest observability report. “Observability enables quick interrogation of a digital service to identify the underlying cause of a performance degradation, even when it has never occurred before.”

At the latest Cisco Live! event in Amsterdam, Pereira provided a preview of the underlying architecture for observability called the Cisco Full-Stack Observability Platform. It’s expected in June, though some details have already been announced.

Killexams : Cisco security upgrades strengthen access control, risk analysis

Cisco has strengthened some of its key security software packages with an eye toward better protecting distributed enterprise resources.

Specifically, Cisco added more intelligence to its Duo access-protection software and introduced a new application called Business Risk Observability that can help enterprises measure the impact of security risks on their core applications. The company also enhanced its SASE offering by expanding its SD-WAN integration options.

Cisco Duo enhancements strengthen access control

The cloud-based Duo service helps protect organizations against cyber breaches by using adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA) to verify the identity of users and the health of their devices before granting access to applications.

Cisco paid $2.35 billion in 2018 for Duo and has been enhancing and expanding its use across its product line. Most recently, Cisco rolled out Duo Passwordless Authentication with support for biometric authentication, including Microsoft Windows and Apple Macs. Passwordless authentication is aimed at reducing the risk of phishing attacks and their ability to utilize stolen passwords as well as addressing MFA fatigue.

With that in mind, the Duo service now also supports features called Remembered Devices and Wi-Fi Fingerprint that allow users to avoid repeated authentications as they move from application to application in trusted operations. Another new feature, called Verified Push, enables Duo to recognize behavior from known attack patterns and require the user to enter a code instead of just pushing a button to confirm.

Using MFA fatigue as an attack vector has led to some high profile breaches, said Tom Gillis, senior vice president and general manager of security at Cisco. “Attackers have built an attack that will look like an MFA request on your phone, but it's actually a way to get into the network,” he said. “So rather than have users mindlessly clicking through MFA requests, we have added the ability to intelligently and selectively let customers set a security policy that reduces that possibility.”

Killexams : Cisco beats earnings and revenue estimates, boosts full-year guidance
Cisco supply chain issues continue to ease

watch now

Cisco reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results on Wednesday and lifted its forecast for the full year. Shares of the computer networking company initially jumped in extended trading before paring most of their gains.

Here's how the company did:

  • Earnings: 88 cents per share, adjusted, vs. 86 cents per share as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.
  • Revenue: $13.59 billion vs. $13.43 billion as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.

Cisco's total revenue grew 7% year over year in the quarter, which ended Jan. 28, according to a statement. Net income fell about 7% to $2.77 billion.

Some components that go in Cisco's hardware products remain constraints, but the company did see an improvement across the board, CEO Chuck Robbins said on a conference call with analysts.

"Based on the sequentials that we saw, demand remains stable," he said, although he added some sales cycles are longer than usual.

Cisco's public sector business performed more strongly than it has historically, while in the service provider category, some customers are adjusting to the better delivery of the company's products into their environments, Robbins said.

The company called for fiscal third-quarter adjusted earnings of 96 cents to 98 cents per share and 11% to 13% revenue growth. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv had been looking for adjusted earnings per share of 89 cents and revenue of $13.58 billion, which implies almost 6% growth.

Cisco lifted its guidance for the 2023 fiscal year, and now expects $3.73 to $3.78 in adjusted earnings per share and 9% to 10.5% revenue growth. Both numbers are well ahead of analysts' estimates.

But Cisco said its backlog increased year over year. The backlog for both hardware and software is still considerably higher than usual for Cisco because of limited supply availability, said Scott Herren, Cisco's finance chief.

"We continue to have very low order cancellation rates, which remain below pre-pandemic levels," Herren said.

Logistics costs have come down somewhat, he said.

In the fiscal second quarter Cisco's largest business segment, Secure, Agile Networks, featuring networking switches for data centers, posted $6.75 billion in revenue. That was up 14% and more than the $6.52 billion consensus among analysts polled by StreetAccount.

The Internet for the Future unit, which includes routed optical networking hardware, contributed $1.31 billion, down 1% and just below the $1.32 billion StreetAccount consensus.

Revenue from Cisco's Collaboration division containing Webex fell by 10% to $958 million, falling short of StreetAccount's $1.06 billion consensus.

In the quarter, Cisco announced updates to its AppDynamics cloud software for application monitoring and disclosed a restructuring plan that includes changes to its real estate portfolio.

Notwithstanding the after-hours move, Cisco shares have inched about 2% higher, while the S&P 500 index is up 8% in the same time period.

Killexams : MEASUREUP CLOSES 2022 WITH 15% GROWTH AND MORE THAN ONE MILLION practice exams SOLD

The company closed its 25th anniversary year having consolidated itself as a leader in the IT training sector and ready to focus on its main project for 2023, ITalentUp.

MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MeasureUp , a provider of certification practice exams in the IT sector and for large multinationals such as Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, CompTIA, and PMI, ended 2022 with a growth of 15%, having sold more than one million practice exams and assessments in more than 140 countries through its platform.

Sam Brocal and Laura Morillo, CEO and CHRO of Media Interactiva Group

Over the course of the past year, MeasureUp has added 29 new titles to its range of training materials, which now includes the complete Microsoft certification path, and it offers more than 400 tests and 37,000 questions. Furthermore, MeasureUp has continued to prioritize the excellent quality of its content, ensuring that its practice exams remain fully in line with the changes made by the different providers. As a result, in 2022, MeasureUp updated 58 of its tests with new content.

The new MeasureUp website, launched in September 2022, opened up a new world of possibilities, bringing more benefits to the user. Among other things, users can now take advantage of improved upload speeds, faster transaction processing times, and advanced payment options. Additionally, the company further enhanced transaction security and added more payment options.

MeasureUp also took center stage at several IT industry conferences in 2022, including the 'Innovations in Testing' conference, hosted by the ATP (Association of Test Publishers), its European Edition, the E-ATP, and the CertMatters conference. In all of them, MeasureUp was able to demonstrate the tremendous benefits of studying through practice exams and assessments. Also,  with the situation having returned to normal after the Covid pandemic, MeasureUp was able to resume its trips to the headquarters of its partner Pearson Vue, holding meetings that were key to strengthening strategic ties and setting new goals for 2023.

CEO of MeasureUp, Sam Brocal, stated that: "2022 has been a year in which we have worked very hard to offer the best possible products to our clients, especially through our new e-commerce platform." He then went on to explain that in 2023: "We will continue to innovate and find new ways to help professionals certify their technological skills."

Strategic plan for 2023

Looking ahead to 2023, the company is going to put special focus on 'ITalentUp', a new project which is based on initial evaluation processes for candidates applying for technical positions. The project will allow recruitment companies and human resources teams to save a great deal of time and money, especially considering how difficult it is becoming to evaluate the technological skills of candidates and teams.

ITalentUp will allow HR companies to create their own technical evaluations for their candidates, basing these evaluations on the technological profile that they require, and using the complete MeasureUp catalogue, which covers the most in-demand technologies on the market.

Laura Morillo, CHRO of the Media Interactiva Group explains that: "When companies are looking to hire IT professionals, their HR teams often have to depend greatly on the assistance of certified in a particular field; ITalentUp will allow these teams to streamline their recruitment processes and automate technical tests, which will result in considerable savings in terms of time, resources, and money. Above all, it will supply them autonomy and ensure the objectivity of the selection processes for these profiles. All professionals in the sector are aware that current profiles tend to be cross-functional, which means that they often require a range of technical skills. ITalentUp allows you to evaluate several technical skills at the same time, meaning that when HR professionals are assessing candidates for a specific profile or position, they can obtain all of the results they need from a single test, which is 100% adapted to the job, project, or specifics of the company."

MeasureUp is also launching its Teams Plans for 2023; packs of practice exams which are aimed at teams, academies, and companies. With Teams Plans, users can combine any of the tests from MeasureUp's prodigious catalog in the way that best suits their needs, saving them money compared to buying practice exams individually. Team Plans are one of the new possibilities that MeasureUp is offering to EMEA, a market that is sure to benefit from these great prices on MeasureUp services and products.

Killexams : Cisco earnings growth ‘clearly implies an acceleration in the second half’: Analyst

Morningstar Equity Analyst William Kerwin joins Yahoo Finance Live to share his insights into Cisco's earnings and outlook.

Video Transcript

SEANA SMITH: Cisco's shares jumping just about 7% following its fiscal second quarter earnings. The company reporting a beat on both the top and bottom lines. Guidance, though, for revenue, one of the key drivers here for this after hours move here in the stock-- guidance for its third quarter revenue coming in better than expected. Also full-year revenue growth of 9% to 10.5% beating the Street's expectations by a wide margin.

For more on that, we want to bring in William Kerwin, Morningstar Equity Analyst in technology. William, it's great to have you here. So clearly, strong numbers here from Cisco. The guidance looks pretty solid as well. Your first reaction.

WILLIAM KERWIN: Yeah, it's absolutely a story of the better guidance. Results in the fiscal second quarter came in a little above our expectations, a little bit above consensus. But that guidance for the third quarter, especially on the top line, a midpoint of 12% year-over-year growth, that's well ahead of our expectations coming into this release at about 6%.

So it clearly implies an acceleration in the second half. And I would just say stepping back for a second, it really shows that the networking market in general has proven to be a little bit more resilient this year amid a backdrop of some weakening in markets elsewhere. So definitely positive for Cisco.

DAVE BRIGGS: CEO Chuck Robbins saying as part of the release, the modern, highly secure networks we are building serve as the backbone of our customers' technology strategy. This, combined with the success of our ongoing business, transformation, and operational discipline gives me confidence in our future. How might the China reopening story play into their future as well?

WILLIAM KERWIN: It definitely plays a role as one aspect of the overall demand. But when we look at Cisco, we really see it as a diversified story in terms of its end customers, its end markets. We still believe that the core networking business really drives results.

And that's what the CEO was referencing there in that comment. But they also have the cybersecurity business, the collaboration businesses-- though, upon first glance at the press release, it really does look like that core networking business is what drove the beat this quarter and the impressive guidance next quarter. So China is a factor. I wouldn't say it's the primary driver, in our view. But they have a diversified amount of drivers that all look to be going really well for them.

SEANA SMITH: William, supply issues had certainly been a challenge here for Cisco recently. We know a number of shortages for their components had held back their ability to fill all of their orders. In this release, the company saying that they have taken steps to Boost supply. What do you think the supply picture currently looks like and how much improvement are you expecting in the coming quarters?

WILLIAM KERWIN: It's definitely something where we're not back to a period where all the supply constraints are alleviated, but it's something that we expect to slowly work its way back to normal throughout calendar 2023 and probably last a little bit longer. So on the prior call, Cisco-- this is the second quarter in a row that Cisco has raised its full-year guidance, so very positive for investors there. But on the previous call, they had talked about expecting a step function each quarter of alleviation of the increased costs related to those supply constraints.

And so it appears that they're sticking to that message. And potentially, it's improving even a little bit faster than they expected just three months ago.

DAVE BRIGGS: We see subscription-- software subscription revenue up 15% year-over-year. And you say it has, essentially, a wide moat, which speaks to their competitive advantage. If there's one thing that really encapsulates that advantage over their competitors, what is it?

WILLIAM KERWIN: For us, it's definitely looking at Cisco's portfolio from a holistic perspective. We like to talk about it as a walled garden sort of approach, where they get into customers serving their core networking hardware needs, but then on top of that, they layer networking software. They can layer cybersecurity software, collaboration.

And it really creates a broad-based value proposition where they embed themselves in various touchpoints to those customers that makes them hard to rip out. So our wide moat rating coming into this quarter is really based around those customer switching costs and just being embedded in mission critical workflows in those enterprise organizations.

SEANA SMITH: All right, William Kerwin Morningstar Equity Analyst, thanks so much for joining us again. Cisco Systems, that stock up just about 6.5%.
