News: Lax security hampers open source

FORTIFY SOFTWARE Inc., the market leader in enterprise application security solutions for business software assurance, has released its open source security study which reveals most widely used open source software packages are exposing users to significant and unnecessary business risk.
The study validates that open source software (OSS) development communities have yet to adopt a secure development process and often leave dangerous vulnerabilities unaddressed. Additionally, the study found that nearly all OSS communities fail to provide users access to security expertise to help remediate these vulnerabilities and security risks.
