hi sc-l, Ever get discouraged that we have not been making enough progress in software security? Well, we have been making plenty of progress and our field is growing fast! This peppy little article (co-authored with Sammy Migues) explains why firewalls, fairy dust, and forensics are not working out for computer security.
Oh, and software security is growing at 20% CAGR and now accounts for 10% of the computer security market (which is itself growing at 8.9%). We are in the right field, and the this mailing list is a major help. Please read this: http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/opinion/McGraw-Firewalls-fairy-dust-and-forensics-Try-software-security Then have your SSG members read it. You do have an SSG, right? Feel free to post links to twitter, facebook, linkedin, and send it around (by pointer). I would really appreciate that.
