Why Should You Care if Open-Source Software is Secure?

No matter whether you use Linux or any other operating system, you will be surrounded with open-source software in some way (directly/indirectly).

To give you an example, most of the proprietary software tools depend on some form of open-source libraries to make things work.

Furthermore, there is a reason why companies of various scale (including Google, Microsoft, and Facebook) rely on open-source software or contribute their resources to the open-source community in one way or the other.

Hence, the security of open-source software is something essential to know about.
