You're already using open source security
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source security is already in data centers, even if network
| executives think it isn't. One common example is OpenSSL, an open
| source-library implementation of the SSL encryption standard with
| an accompanying set of tools and utilities. Any commercial product
| that uses SSL for such features as Web-based management or
| client/server control channels almost certainly is using OpenSSL.

|
| A consistent trend in security products has been the creation of
| appliances, packaging familiar open source basics, such as Linux,
| Apache and MySQL, as a base, then adding a combination of open
| source security tools and value-added software for management to
| make a complete product. Most of the packaged security appliances
| for everything from firewalls to security information management
| are built on the same BSD Unix and Linux distributions as the
| application servers you build yourself.

Just proving that open source means "more secure". And everybody uses it
(e.g. Google).
