True that about the security engineers, but they are at the mercy of products that claim to distinguish good from bad and this has never worked, IMHO. How the hell can you write signatures against malware/documents/web-sites/files/attacks/blah when there's so much diversity and quantity of stuff to keep up with?

Disclaimer: I built the first IPS to be commercialized and yes we used signatures amongst other things.
