| Still, there are four primary arguments in favour of open-source
| security tools: agility in the face of changing threats, control of
| one's own destiny with full source code, customization to one's
| own requirements, and lower cost. With that in mind, good examples
| of freely available security products abound.

| Customization long has been a benefit of open source, and it's just
| as important in security....
| 
| Finally, cost is the eternal and obvious argument in favor of open
| source. A single appliance in a data center may not be much of a
| budget item, but costs do add up....
