Enterprise open source is playing an increasingly important role in organizations. See what 950 IT leaders said about it, and learn how it can benefit you.
The Red Hat® Shares newsletter helps IT leaders navigate the complicated world of IT―the open source way.
FROM THE EDITOR
Open source means business
Open source software (OSS), by definition, has source code that’s available for anyone to see, learn from, use, modify, and distribute. It’s also the foundation for a model of collaborative invention that empowers communities of individuals and companies to innovate in a way that proprietary software doesn't allow.
Enterprise open source software is OSS that’s supported and made more secure―by a company like Red Hat―for enterprise use. It plays a strategic role in many organizations and continues to gain popularity. How do we know?
We surveyed 950 IT leaders to better understand the unique role of enterprise open source. According to the resulting report, 89% said enterprise open source is “extremely important,” “very important,” or “important” to their businesses.
In this issue of Red Hat Shares, see what else the survey revealed and get a deeper understanding of enterprise open source, how it’s being used, and how it can benefit your organization.

Safer than some might think
Advocates of enterprise open source tout its security, but skeptics are … well, skeptical. The 2019 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) report, produced by the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center, says “the risk issue is unpatched software, not open source use.”
“Much of the innovation in the software world today is happening with open source. Organizations that depend on software to support their businesses (which is to say most of them) want to be able to tap into that innovation.”
