I hope the leadership at Cisco reflects on this incident and will utilize different tactics the next time this happens. Similarly, I hope the cybersecurity folks in our governments realize that, while a strong relationship with vendors is essential, they must recognize that vendors have different goals than they do.
Perhaps more importantly, ISS should try to get it's act together and realise they let a highly skilled and motivated researcher go over political issues that should have never influenced a true security driven company in their decision making. How on earth are you gonna try to maintain the image of an independent security company after a clear case of politics and behind-the-scenes shennenigans like these...?
