RE: Gartner on "Deep Packet Inspection"

[<lordchariot () earthlink net>]

The amusing part to me is, isn't this what we've been doing with
application proxies? Haven't we had "Application Intelligence" all this
time?

Now the marketing engine that drives these reports say it "Redfines
Internet Security" and "It's not just all about Stateful Packet
Inspection anymore".

Well, no kidding...it never was.

..sigh..

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:
