Cisco Davos - investing big in cybersecurity

Worth a read:

Some highlights:

Chambers said he'll use acquisitions, a staple of Cisco's growth in the past, to maneuver Cisco to become the largest Internet security company. That said, he acknowledged that in some parts of the technology industry companies are currently valued too high in the market, making some acquisitions expensive.

Chambers was pushing his message on a panel for executives earlier in the day, and said he plans as many as 150 meetings with CEOs and 30 meetings with global leaders while he is in town.
"They are all my customers," he said.

Chambers also said he continues to push the networked "Internet of Things" concept, which envisions everything from cars to homes being run by the Internet someday soon. Cisco will launch an ad campaign this week to capture the concept, with the creative theme tied to "the last everything."
