According to Gartner, “The network intrusion prevention system market has undergone dynamic
evolution, increasingly being absorbed by next-generation firewall placements. Nextgeneration
IPSs are available for the best protection, but the IPS market is being pressured by the uptake of
advanced threat defense solutions.

This Magic Quadrant focuses on the market for stand-alone IDPS (IDP / IPS) appliances; however, IDPS capabilities are also delivered as functionality in other network security products. Network IDPSs are provided within a next-generation firewall (NGFW), which is the evolution of enterprise-class network firewalls, and include application awareness and policy control, as well as the integration of network IDPSs (IDP / IPS)
