Are you interested in where IPS Systems (Intrusion Prevention Systems) are going over the next few years?  Do you think we'll see more HIPs (Host Intrusion Prevention Systems) feeds into IPS consoles, or more integration with SIEMs?  Or will we just see better versions of what we have today?

Or are you maybe just wondering if your organization needs an IPS?

Either way, we're interested in our input!  We've got a survey running to collect your take on IPS's, and where you expect (or would like) to see them evolve over the next few years:   https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013SANSNetworkSecuritySurvey

We'll be collecting the results shortly, and will be sharing them in a SANS Analyst Webcast in October - more details here: https://www.sans.org/webcasts/survey-network-security-96967

Looking forward to your views !
