Open source security is the future
,----[ Quote ]
| Security practitioners today face a near-impossible task of bringing order to
| a technology landscape in which the problem space is accelerating beyond the
| reach of the available solutions. Most enterprise networks are already well
| out of control, and the situation will get much worse. Tackling this dilemma
| is arguably the greatest technology challenge that we face.

| One option is open-source software. My company has always been reluctant to
| use free software -- even banning it in a semi-official way until just
| recently. Objections have been based on the perception that open source is
| unreliable, would require dependence on a few key people with the expertise
| to support whichever tools we might use, and would generate high support
| costs. But now the company's stance has gone from "No open source"
| to "Demonstrate that open source will save us money." In this economy, money
| talks.

,----[ Quote ]
| Palamida, a vendor that sells software and services around open-source
| software security and legal compliance, has named 25 open-source projects
| companies should not hesitate to use.
|
| Some, such as the Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment) and the
| MySQL database, are widely known. But Palamida also included software like
| the FreeType font engine and script.aculo.us, a set of JavaScript libraries
| for Web 2.0-style applications and sites.
