    It's probably not fair of me to jump on the "pile on Gartner" bandwagon since the company I work for competes with them, but I thought it interesting to share a wonderful critique of Gartner's "IDS is Dead" proclamation.

    An amusing and relevant magic quandrant:

    Quoting from the opening remarks:

    "Gartner believes that firewalls must provide a wider
    range of intrusion prevention capabilities, or face extinction."

    FYI, no vendor is in the magic quadrant.
    I wonder who paid for the report :-)

    Another curmudgeon response to Gartner:
