Fortinet is conducting a 2010 network security survey. Completing the 15 multiple choice questions automatically enters takers into a drawing for a chance to win one of three new Apple iPads. By taking this survey, you are helping us better understand what the users see as significant trends that are occurring in the security industry. While your answers will remain anonymous, we ask for your email at the end of the survey so that you can be notified should you be one of the three lucky iPad winners.

Winners will be announced in August. Questions related to this survey can be addressed to Rick Popko. Thank you for your participation.

Earlier this week, independent analyst Richard Stiennon posted a video interview he did with Michael Xie. From Stiennon’s blog post:

Michael Xie is CTO of Fortinet and drives all of their development of true “Next Generation” security appliances. Hear him describe his views on speeds and feeds, routing and switching in the firewall, and cost per secure megabit.
