IBM再一次启动了并购的武器，继收购ISS之后再度涉足应用安全领域，收购了Watchfire这一举足轻重的应用安全厂商，我们还能做些什么？
......
I didn't hear about the deal size, but I'm sure the rumor mill will be
churning with that number soon enough. Clearly application security is
bigger than just a few start-ups that are currently driving the
business, and it's starting to hit its exponential growth phase, so
the inevitable consolidation is to be expected. I think SPI Dynamics
is a short term beneficiary because there is inevitable confusion as
Watchfire integrates into the IBM machine.

当然除了这两家厂商之外，还有诸如FortifySoftware、AppDefense等之类的应用安全厂商仍在方兴未艾的这一市场中蓬勃发展，我们
的机会在哪里？

Google收购了GreenBorder--一家基于浏览器的应用安全厂商（Sandbox）

微软在安全方面的努力始终就没有停止过......
SDL大刀又会砍向哪里？
