9. Applied Watch Technologies why.open.source COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf) NIDS/NIPS don’t do everything perfectly Open Source signatures are community developed and in most cases are easier to write There will soon be an equal or superior open source solution to every COTS security product Commercial solutions can be very expensive. OSS lowers the TCO of Security.
