Wendy Nather, director of research for enterprise security at The 451 Group, has written that many organizations exist "below the security poverty line." That is, they do not have the resources, both financially and human, to satisfy their security and compliance needs. Can open source security projects provide "the meat" they need? Alan Shimel discusses this with Nather and chat about potential solutions to the problem that both big and small organizations face.
