Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, 
and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability 
in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

For emergencies only —

[email protected]

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which 
a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered 
nonemergencies.

For nonemergencies —

[email protected]

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

1 877 228-7302

1 408 525-6532

Tip

We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to 
encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been 
encrypted with PGP versions 2.

any sensitive material.
