I don't receive the surveys but I would say that Deep Learning starting to be adopted for surveillance use is intriguing. If implemented properly it could be game changing. The biggest disadvantage I could see is the absolute reliance upon the cloud which many enterprise customers are afraid of. So far it seems as though only overseas companies are actively pursuing Deep Learning based analytics for the SMB/Enterprise. I cannot believe there are no mentions of this.

I agree , surveys can be misleading
But one thing is for sure is that the large Giants are trying to gobble up, secure their position in the global security marketplace and looking at the Tree of ownership you see a massive change in positioning.
That usually follows with price increase, change in distribution channels, and pricing structures.
What I have noticed is everytime a company get s acquired by another.
The cost of doing business increases
Usually at the Commercial, Industrial side of town 1st.
This TCO way of thinking is going to secure their future ownership as this generation does not seem to mind not owning anything.
Just leasing, renting, paying payments , day to day expense's.
Cloud thinking --- minimum cost with no ownership, and easy disconnect and disposable products

I'm in the 'Cybersecurity' camp for biggest 2016 surprise.
Granted, the actual targeting of networked security is not surprising, but the general industry apathy in dealing with it, and the lack of preparedness to address exploits are surprising to me.
2016 showed me Cybersecurity is one area where physical security and traditional IT are worlds apart.
