Just noticing some changes with some known IDS companies and wanted some
feedback from the community. Because Marcus Ranum left NFR earlier this year
and Ron Gula has left Enterasys Networks, I am questioning the future of
some early-on IDS companies. I mentioned some time ago that the IDS market
will eventually consolidate and it seems like things are moving in that
direction.

To further enforce my point, word on the street is TippingPoint is now
seeking for someone to buy them out. Does anyone else have anything that
could help validate this or these types of trends in IDS companies?

Thanks in advance!
