    From the TechTarget coverage of the Gartner Security Summit this week:

    "Next generation firewalls that do deep-packet inspections from vendors like
    Juniper Networks, Check Point and Fortinet employ a heuristics engine and
    allow all network traffic and behavior, except those which policy says it
    must block. Most enterprises, however, refresh their firewall purchases on a
    three- to five-year cycle and that makes it challenging to synch new
    features."

    *sigh*
