From Key Takeaways:
- Open source programs are typically platform-agnostic, allowing them to be used in nearly any cloud and run with any application.
- Encryption is a fundamental security feature.
- Open source programs like Let’s Encrypt use encryption to ensure website domains and other programs have secure communication protocols.
- Virtualized security functions are best used with software-defined security orchestration because that brings out benefits like automation and function scalability.
- By using an open source update system framework like TUF, attackers have a harder time manipulating the update system and corrupting software.
- An open source policy controller works across clouds and platforms and enables application policies to be more uniformly applied and enforced in those environments.
- A modern open source runtime security program can better protect a cloud-native application because it can work with many cloud-native applications across multiple clouds.
