Another day, another Cisco acquisition. The networking giant said today in a blog post that it intends to acquire Cognitive Security, a small privately-owned security firm based in Prague, Czech Republic. The company focuses on network security research and applying artificial intelligence techniques in order to detect advanced cyber-threats.

In comments, Cisco head of corporate business development Hilton Romanski, who heads up the company's mergers and acquisitions, said:

Cisco's security vision is to provide always on, integrated security to empower customers to realize the benefits of a mobile, cloud-enabled business. Cisco's cloud-based global threat intelligence and Cognitive Security's real-time behavioral analytics, will integrate to a common policy engine that controls distributed network enforcement in an intelligent network and mitigates advanced cyber threats.
