Today IBM announced that they will be purchasing Watchfire. Press release is here. It was interesting to see that Watchfire’s tools were slated to find a home with the Rational development tools rather than the business unit that was formerly ISS. Personally I think that is a great idea because it give the application security tools to the application developers.

Hey,
I couldn’t agree more. It is time to push security into the development lifecycle. This is not a cliche. Performing security at the end of the process makes absolutely no sense at all.
