Author, industry analyst, and founder of IT-Harvest, Richard Stiennon, announced the release of "Security Yearbook 2020: A History and Directory of the IT Security Industry." The new book is available for immediate shipping from Amazon.

The result of over a decade of research, "Security Yearbook 2020" starts at the early days of RACF, ACF2, Check Point Software, Symantec, and McAfee, coming right up to the present day comprised of over 2,336 vendors worldwide, where hundreds of companies are competing daily to bring the next breakthrough in the security market to life.

Security Yearbook 2020 is not a review of technologies; this is a book filled with rich histories of the vendors and the people behind the companies - the misfits and pioneers - that have together built the $300+ billion cybersecurity industry of today.

"My vision for this book began when I realized I had been writing books about the history of cyber-attacks while neglecting the history of the very industry I have been part of for 24 years; those creating the product we rely on every day for defense," said Richard Stiennon.

Security Yearbook 2020 will also be the first published directory of all vendors listed by country and product category.
