Software Security Crosses the Threshold

[Gary McGraw <gem () cigital com>]

hi sc-l,

As many of you know, I have been collecting and publishing information about the software security space from a 
business perspective for several years running.  In 2009, revenues from tools and services companies in the software 
security market exceeded $500 million.  This is an important threshold for multiple reasons: the space continues to 
grow even in uncertain economic times, a middle market of small and medium size businesses is developing, and 
acquisitions by major players (IBM and HP) are bearing fruit.

I published my findings as this month's informIT article <http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1623792>

Like always, your feedback and discussion of the article is welcome.  As software security finally begins to mature as 
a business and gain some momentum, we can help bolster the market by describing what we see happening to those outside 
the discipline.
