Magic Quadrant for Intrusion Detection Systems

Tags:
network security

Overview The intrusion Detection System (IDS) industry is struggling to justify inordinate investments in complicated, expensive technology that does little to protect the enterprise. Because IDS has reached the peak of its usefulness as a stand-alone technology, and intrusion prevention system technologies are offering significant challenges to IDSs, this will be the final IDS Magic Quadrant that Gartner presents. Signature-based inspection is a subset of features that can be found in intrusion prevention systems and next-generation firewalls. Many traditional IDS vendors will develop in-line blocking solutions as they migrate to intrusion prevention. In doing so, they must contend with the visionaries that are leading this area.
