I agree...... For now!

But I thought we were talking futures (reading back to Greg's original
post)

Given increases in capabilities of hardware, do you REALLY think these
will still be separate devices in five years time? (And let's not go
into what "next big thing" will have replaced ALL of these technologies
by then...;o)

I think that maybe they can be in the same device, but being
separate capabilities, not the mix Firewall-IPS some are seeing
as the next step in the firewall or IDS technology. Anyway I
wouldn't buy a single device with both capabilities, as I find
more suitable to have the firewall separate from the IDS/IPS, so
I can configure my network the way I want and not the way some
marketing expert have think I should.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
