Cigital's Gary McGraw's Monthly Security Column Moves To InformIT
Cigital, Inc., a leading provider of software quality management consulting solutions, and InformIT, the trusted technology learning source, today announced that Cigital Chief Technology Officer and Addison-Wesley Professional author Gary McGraw’s popular monthly column on computer security will be offered exclusively on InformIT – the online presence for the world's leading technology publishing imprints including Addison-Wesley Professional.
DULLES, Va. & INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) May 29, 2008
Dr. McGraw, a globally-recognized authority on software security and the author of six best selling books on this topic, decided to move the monthly column from darkreading. com because of InformIT's large readership and his affiliation with Addison-Wesley Professional. His books include the just published Software Security Engineering: A Guide for Project Managers; as well as Exploiting Online Games; Software Security; Exploiting Software; and Building Secure Software.
McGraw's podcast, Silver Bullet, will also be syndicated exclusively through InformIT. He has been writing his column since October 2004, where it first appeared in Network magazine, which later became IT Architect.
