Open Source is trailblazing a path in network security today. The lower cost of ownership, broad adoption, higher quality of code and functionality are amongst the many reasons open source is gaining more traction within the security industry. Many have been convinced by the rapid response times of open source, often dispatching antidotes to security breaches in real time.
‘We are very pleased to see such great support for an open source solution in the commercial arena. It’s going to be very exciting to see Sensory Networks take DSPAM® to the next level by embedding it in a hardware solution. This will definitely send a message that investing in open source is advantageous for large corporate solutions’ said author of DSPAM®, Jonathan Zdziarski.
