The number of reported security vulnerabilities out in cyberspace has slowed significantly over last year. Researchers say the number of bugs reported so far this year has increased by about 5 percent. IBM-ISS’s X-Force team reported around 2,419 bugs last year through mid-May and 2,553 this year. Microsoft’s Windows Vista and Office 2007 may have slowed things a bit, with new security features that prevent some typical bugs from actually becoming exploitable vulnerabilities. The numbers could jump again once researchers start hammering away at software that hasn’t yet been widely deployed.”]
