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 recently explaining how software security is growing.

I am very optimistic about the growth of the software security field over the last few years. Things are certainly moving in the right direction (toward white box analysis instead of outside->in black box, out of the myopic focus on Web apps, and toward full-lifecycle programs based on the touchpoints). The numbers show this growth and these trends objectively.
