[SC-L] Code Testing Tools Could Be Acquisition Targets in '08

2008-01-03 Thread Kenneth Van Wyk

New Year's greetings, SC-Lers,

FYI, here's an interesting article about the application security  
testing space, from eWeek.


http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,2242973,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K594

The author sort of compares apples and oranges a bit, IMHO, in  
comparing recent acquisitions of security testing product firms (e.g.,  
SPI and WatchFire) with potential future acquisitions of source code  
analysis tool companies, but it's still worth a quick read.  The good  
news in the article is, "The acquisitions, coupled with an increase in  
the number of providers offering vulnerability assessments, are  
indicators of a growing emphasis on increasing security in the  
development process."



Cheers,

Ken
