I’m all for open source software so it can be understood, developed, and used by more people than if it was proprietary. However, I don’t get how it can be secure if malicious actors have access to the source code and the entire software package to practice their attacks against?
In: Engineering
IF the software is propriety only your staff can work on said security vulnerabilities.
What you are missing out on open source is that the community will pick up on statistically improbable vulnerabilities a smaller group could catch.
In essence, open source is often more secure, because it is open source.
