Open Source software has become an integral part of the modern tech landscape. From operating systems to programming languages, many tools and applications that power the technology industry are open source. One of the primary reasons for the popularity of open source software is the collaborative nature of development. Developers from all over the world can contribute code, report bugs, and make improvements to the software, resulting in better, more stable, and more secure applications.

However, with the benefits of open source software comes the need for security. Open source code is often freely available for anyone to download, modify, and redistribute. While this can be a benefit for developers, it also means that attackers can examine the code and find vulnerabilities that they can exploit.

Open Source Security Tools

To help mitigate the risks of using open source software, many developers have created security tools designed specifically for open source applications. These tools can help identify vulnerabilities, ensure compliance with industry regulations, and track changes made to open source code. Here are a few examples of open source security tools that can help improve the security of your applications:
