Cisco has acquired Code BGP, a privately held BGP monitoring company based in Greece. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Code BGP was founded in 2021 by Fontas Dimitropoulos, Vasileios Kotronis and Lefteris Manassakis.
BGP security remains a critical issue. The companies report that this year alone there have been 6,000 incidents of BGP hijacks, route leaks, and other issues across the many thousands of networks that make up the Internet.
Cisco said the Code BGP team will enhance its capabilities already provided by its ThousandEyes division.
