Computerworld - According to Gartner, the worldwide SIM market had grown to $100 million by 2003. The Stamford, Conn.-based research firm also estimated that 20% of Fortune 1,000 companies were using security management software in that year and that vendors would double their installed bases in 2004.
The SIM market is divided into two main categories. First, there are vendors that specialize in SIM, such as OpenService, netForensics, Intellitactics, ArcSight and Network Intelligence Corp. Then there are larger companies that sell SIM products to complement their other management or security offerings. They include Computer Associates, IBM's Tivoli Software unit, Symantec Corp. and NetIQ Corp.
The smaller vendors' products generally offer more complete sets of features. But the larger companies offer products that are interoperable with their other offerings and that they can sell to their existing clientele.
