In cybersecurity, sharing is caring. Sharing threat intelligence, tools, and knowledge is the best way to collectively improve our security posture. But our business models conflict with this sharing. Through the sands of time, countless non-commercial and open-source initiatives either went “freemium” or were absorbed into multinationals and disappeared completely. It all goes wrong when open-source projects get involved with Venture Capital. It makes some hackers wealthy, but where does this leave the hacker community and the world? Are acquisitions and IPOs collectively achieving our goals of making the world more cybersecure? Or is this all one large distraction? We need to conduct an uncomfortable but necessary discussion within FOSS communities about this.
