hi sc-l,

In April 2007, I published a darkreading article on the size of the software security space with some analysis of what 
was happening.  It took me a bit longer to gather the numbers this year, but I finally got what I needed and published 
an informIT article yesterday explaining how software security is growing:

I am encouraged that the field continues to thrive even in the face of the recession we're in.  Even more encouraging 
is the evolution in the space in the right direction.  Towards white box analysis pf all software and out of the small 
but important sub-domain of Web apps.  And towards full lifecycle SDLC based programs incorporating the Touchpoints.
