RE: Social cyber platform30 Dec 2024 11:50
Just decided to return to this site after a break.
A good bit of my background has been software development including Open Source applications. When a piece of OS software is made available to the world, the source code, the programming code, is also released. This source code, and therefore the usable software, can be enhanced by anyone. The changes will then be peer reviewed and released to the world. Anyone who uses the Firefox browser is using an OS application.
The worry about OS software is that it open to the world and vulnerabilities can be easily inroduced. We have seen such vulnerabilities in just about every piece of Microsoft software hence the ongoing system updates. There have been a number of massive system failures due to vulnerabilities being introduced and exploited by cyber attacks.
The social cyber platform, as I understand matters, helps to identify and remove vulnerabilities at the early possible time i.e. during the initial development phase and later. This will not be sold to customers but they will pay for the service on an ongoing basis.
I am happy to be corrected.
