The Origin and Early History of the Computer Security Software Products Industry. Yost, J. R. IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, 37(2):46--58, April, 2015. 00000
doi  abstract   bibtex   
In the second half of the 1970s, established computer firms and new IT start-ups chose alternative paths to offer commercial access control systems to organizational mainframe computer users. These developments in effect launched the computer security software products industry with IBM's Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) and SKK's Access Control Facility 2 (ACF2).
