Sicherheitslösungen auf Open-Source-Basis

Macht es Sinn, für sicherheitskritische Anwendungen auf Open Source Software zurückzugreifen? Ja, meint das Network Security Journal:

“Open source security is like a military general who shows his plans to both his allies and his enemies. On the one hand, his enemies can try to exploit the plan by targeting its weaknesses. But on the other hand, by exposing his tactics to those who want to help, the plan is ultimately much stronger as a result of their feedback and modifications.”
