In the most recent issue of the SANS Newsbites (Vol. 5, Num. 24), Marcus Ranum reports: 'In private communications with Stiennon (the Gartner analyst), he offered the shocking fact that - for all that they are hyping IPS - the team at Gartner "doesn't know anyone who is using an IPS in inline mode." That runs utterly contrary to the perception they are trying to create that IPS is the "wave of the future" It just shows that P.T. Barnum underestimated severely when he made his famous assessment of Gartner's customer base. "There's a Gartner Customer born every minute."'
