Great write-up on Security Managment activities this year

I have Security as one of the 6 DCAB Functional Categories.  This article does a great job highlighting some key landscape changes in the overall Security Management market (some items are beyond what is covered by this blog).  As it relates to monitoring/managing the security of the data center this points out some key activities:

• Web Application Vulnerability Scanning – IBM acquiring Watchfire, HP acquiring SPI
• Data Leakage Monitoring – Symantec acquiring Vontu, EMC acquire Tablus and others.

As noted, these capabilities aren’t exclusive to the data center but have applicability.
