Million-dollar fine for violating several cybersecurity patents

The judge, Henry Coke Morgan, of the State of Virginia, rules against the multinational Cisco, blaming it for infringing up to four security patents, owned by the security provider Centripetal Networks. These patents are related to encrypted traffic and packet filtering.

Consequently, as cited in the official statement issued by Centripetal Networks, Cisco will have to pay it a sum of money that can reach up to 1,900 million dollars..
