It's no secret that Deepfence šs open source! We have chosen it as our primary GTM route b/c we believe everyone has a fundamental right to āļø security!
Today's š§µ will explore some of the reasons why we think open source models are good for the industry & customers š§µ š
Flexibility
Open source models allow for customization & adaptation to specific security needs w/i cloud native infrastructures which are themselves predominately open sources systems. This allows orgs to build tuned sec policy around their brownfield, hybrid āļø envs.
Cost-effectiveness
Using open source models can save orgs $, as they do not have to pay for proprietary solutions. The fundamentals of which (vuln mgmt, CSPM, secret scanning, malware detection) should be accessible to all for an equitable playing field in combatting threats
Community-driven development
Open source models benefit from contributions from a large community of developers, which can lead to more robust & secure platforms. Threat intelligence and behavioral detection techniques against MITRE are primed for collective development.
Transparency
With open source models, the source code is available for review & audit, providing greater trust in the security solutions being used. Tech areas such as security, where so much is at stake in terms of privacy & digital assets benefit from this transparency.
Interoperability
Open source models often use open standards, making it easier for different security solutions to integrate. Threat Intel data structures, detection rules, & response playbooks all examples where open standards help with interoperability between systems.

Remember, as the security community you have the right to demand:
ā¢ An equitable starting point for gaining visibility into their attack surface.
ā¢ Security tools that scale and support modern application architectures.
ā¢ Access to tools that help prioritize risk by exploitability & impact to help alleviate the op resource constraints the industry faces.
ā¢ A resilient and robust security ecosystem built by the community, not reliant on any single corporate entity
ā¢ Open platforms
