RE: Gartner on "Deep Packet Inspection"

["Irwin Lazar" <ILazar () burtongroup com>]

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:
