Open-Source makes for better software Software with better market fi t and usability Software that is more reliable and secure Open knowledge about source of bugs and security vulnerabilities facilitates resolution in shorter amount of time than in closed source software The Economics of Technology Sharing: Open-Source and Beyond. Lerner and Tirole, 2005 @jayjayjpg

Open-Source Software Products: Does it really make your product more secure? @jayjayjpg

Common Risks in OSS Security Package Management in the JS ecosystem makes tracking of bugs and security issues challenging Risks of highly decentralized software development Limited shared responsibility on projects stalls security e ff orts @jayjayjpg

Shared development = More software security by default @jayjayjpg

Shared development = More software security by default @jayjayjpg

Shared development = Potential for more software security @jayjayjpg

OSS Security OSS is signi fi cantly more secure than closed source if certain conditions are met Software is not only theoretically, but also practically reviewed by many, independent reviewers Reviewers and code contributors have the su ffi cient expertise to detect and address security issues Application and distribution of software fi xes occurs in a timely manner 🔐 @jayjayjpg

Open-Source Software Products: Does OSS really make your product more secure? Yes, if done right @jayjayjpg
