William Jackson | Is open-source software secure or not?
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source software appears to be moving into the federal mainstream,
| according to a recent study by the Federal Open Source Alliance. But feds
| appear to be of two minds about the security of the software.
|
| A majority of agencies surveyed -- 55 percent -- said they had implemented
| open-source software, and 29 percent of agencies that had not yet done so
| said they were planning to adopt open-source tools within the next year. The
| top reason for using such tools? Thirty percent of the respondents said it
| was the ability to access advanced and multilevel security capabilities.
