Serious Malfunctions in Aman Systems During War Nearly Led to Cancellation of Cisco Contract

In depth

Aman's computer systems suffered repeated crashes and outages lasting hours during the war, which diagnostic methods failed to resolve. Senior defense officials considered terminating the contract with the American company Cisco.

Cisco sent experts to Israel and resolved the malfunctions. The company presented the handling as a customer success story. The contract with the company brought in about $67 million.

The documents on the subject were leaked by employees who were angered by the continued relationship with the IDF during wartime. Cisco's shareholders will decide this month whether to open an internal inquiry.
