Off the top of my head:

- NFR IDS and Wheel Group/NetRanger sensors existed before Snort, among others.
- Many DoS attacks existed before 2000.
- What does "making blade technology obsolete" mean?
- I chuckled at "invisible wall."

Not entirely inaccurate, though they seem to have employed some selective history to make things simpler. It's a marketing graphic, so it'll serve its purpose.
