Security information management (SIM) tools are fast becoming must-haves for security teams wanting more visibility into IT activity within their environment. The market is currently growing at a rate of around 50%, and growth will continue to accelerate until late 2009 when commoditization will result in smaller deal sizes. From 2011, the market will stabilize as SIM becomes a wider part of the infrastructure management and business intelligence disciplines. The winners will be the vendors that can deliver today's requirements quickly and easily rather than the constant promise of future SIM nirvana.
