The ad's picture

"Break out" and die?
I don't understand.  Why would the fish want to "break out" of the fish bowl and jump out into an environment in which it can't survive (i.e. the glass-looking table top)?

"Swimming in circles" definitely seems better than "breaking out" and dying in five minutes.

What your ad says to me is this: if you're "swimming in circles" with your current PCI compliance solution which actually, to me, signals a positive experience in that all you have to do is set your current solution (in this case, since you slam Tripwire, let's use them) and it'll automatically make sure you're PCI compliant.  But anyway, so yes, you want to "break free" from constant scanning - so you jump out of your current solution into an environment that doesn't support your way of living (or won't support the level of PCI compliance you desire).  And, eventually, you're unable to adapt so thusly you (or, to keep with the analogy, your business) dies.

This is what I get from the ad.  Why would I want to stop my current solution and take a "leap of faith" that eventually means that I wouldn't survive?
