Open source as a philosophy was born alongside the Internet at a time when the world was much more optimistic. The naysayers said it couldn’t be done, that it wasn’t secure, and that it was just a matter of time before all these projects failed.

Fast forward 30-40 years and the open source ecosystem is thriving. Linux runs on the top 500 super computers in the world, almost 95% of the world’s servers, and 85% of all smart phones.

It takes a lot of passion, courage, and vision to embark on an open-source adventure. LimaCharlie is incredibly honored to be hosting this event with the founders and representatives from three different open-source projects that are making huge contributions to cybersecurity as a whole.

In this webinar, we will be discussing the complexities of open source in cybersecurity, the effects it has on the industry, funding models, what inspired these projects, how they came to be, how they are trying to grow, and any lessons - good or bad - they have learned along the way.
