Dailydave: The reporting gap

The reporting gap

It's interesting that the security "tactical" reporting, largely filled
by blogs, has been pretty spotty lately. Is the latest Flash bug 0day or
not 0day? Is the Adobe Reader bug being exploited in the wild, or not?
Perhaps it's an indication that people are paying less attention to each
individual vulnerability now. But I think it's something worse.

There's a lot of stuff a good security weblog that's vendor independent
COULD say though. The market is still pretty unprobed - there's a lot of
huge security companies out there no one writes about. Take one:
INS.com. There's a thousand more like that, and they have a huge impact
on the market, technology, and everything else we do. When was the last
time you heard about them on ZDNet or eWeek or The Register?

I won't claim to be "vendor independent" or even technology agnostic.
But there's a gap here in our industry that more journalists and
analysts should fill. 451Group and a few others are there, but we need more.
