## About

Free IT and cybersecurity courses from Cisco's global learning platform

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team and volunteers contacted Cisco about Networking Academy in March 2026, but received only an automated notice directing the request to a web form, with no substantive response since.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-30 — Company Responded. Official outreach to Cisco's privacy team about Networking Academy's Syria restrictions drew only an automated notice saying such requests cannot be processed by email and pointing to a web form.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-12 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Cisco's Networking Academy support and export teams in March 2026, citing the 2025 sanctions relief and asking that access for Syria be reviewed.
- 2026-01-27 — Investigated. Reported to the platform in January 2026 as blocked in Syria: Cisco's global IT and cybersecurity learning platform.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
