A leading provider of software quality management consulting solutions, Cigital, Inc., and the trusted technology learning source, InformIT, 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 the online presence for the world's leading technology publishing imprints including Addison-Wesley Professional, InformIT.

A globally-recognized authority on software security and the author of six best selling books on this topic, Dr. McGraw, 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 Software; Software Security; Exploiting Online Games; and Building Secure Software.

Silver Bullet, McGraw’s podcast, will also be syndicated exclusively through InformIT. Since October 2004, he has been writing his column, where it first appeared in Network magazine, which later became IT Architect.
