Hey community, I’m trying to research the use of open-source components in the security space and figured this would be the best place to start.


Had a few questions that I wanted to ask



  1. What is your process for approving an open-source solution?

  2. Does your company secure it’s SDLC (software development life cycle)?

  3. What tools do you use to keep your SDLC secure?

  4. In your opinion, what are the biggest pros and cons of using open-source tools in cybersecurity?
    Appreciate …
