Why open source software
Open source software (OSS) refers to software whose source code is publicly accessible and modifiable. This promotes transparency, innovation and collaboration, as developers worldwide can contribute to improving the software. OSS offers high security, flexibility and can lead to cost savings.
As secunet AG, we support OSS because it enables us to control our IT infrastructure, develop customized solutions and increase our innovative strength. OSS also ensures a high level of security and transparency, allowing us to offer our customers trustworthy products. OSS enables us to strengthen our digital sovereignty and promote local IT development.
