I got my "information security" mag today. To continue the thing I started in August and continued in September, here are this month's numbers.

What I can see from this is that widgets are continuing their move from FUD as a prime motivator and towards ease. Also, some observer bias is probably present in the distinction between "Security Service Management" and "Widget". A lot of widgets provide "integrated solutions", which is almost the same terminology the Sec. Svc providers use, only they manage the widgets they deploy in your network.
I'm glad of the move. FUD is not a motivator to the audience of this particular publication, we already know the risk. We don't need the fear of hackers thrown at us from yet another source. We already get that from our management.
