Open source software and security
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source advocates have argued that open source software is
| inherently more secure because fixes for uncovered design flaws
| are quickly distributed and made available. They further argue
| that early and intense code review promotes the development of
| better quality code.

|
| So, with regard to supporting security policies, components of your IT
| infrastructure should be selected based on the soundness of their design,
| the commitment to security demonstrated by the vendor, and the
| functionality required to support those policies, not the software
| development model that produced it.
