This article has mentioned me saying:
Pete Lindstrom, analyst at Spire Security, agreed, saying most companies in the IDS space are making firewalls smarter and more aware of intrusions.
“There’s so much noise out there on the Internet that it’s nice to eliminate some of that,” Lindstrom said.
Just to clarify a bit - IPS solutions are evolutionary firewalls and I expect firewalls to "disappear" into the network IPS space over the next 3 years. These solutions will be generally effective at dealing with the most popular attacks.
IDS, on the other hand, needs to push forth with its new techniques for identifying threats. These include correlation (in conjunction with Security Event Management solutions) and statistical models that identify anomalies.
