Why open source wont prevent cloud lock-in

Why open source won't prevent cloud lock-in

data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20100%20100%22%3E%3C/svg%3E

One of open source's promises is to minimize vendor lock-in. However, it's not so apparent that this value proposition holds when using software as a service (SaaS) or cloud-based platform services. The implication is clear: So-called open source cloud platforms, like the recently announced VMforce, are no more open than proprietary clouds -- and believing otherwise will trap you into unintended lock-in.

In recent years, software manufacturers appeared to be increasing the transparency of communication about bugs. The Internet has allowed for rather rapid delivery of software patches, and Microsoft Corp. even releases details in its security bulletins and accompanying Webcasts.

Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4 will support it, and Microsoft recently touted its advantages. But the upcoming version of HTML, which builds rich Internet application features into the Web programming language and shifts more Web functions to the client machine, also could open up new Web attack vectors.

No one is really focusing attacks on Mac and Linux, namely because there're not enough users," Steckler said in an interview. "Viruses, just like [those] in humans, need lots of hosts to propagate. Since there are very few Mac and Linux machines in the ecosystem, it's very difficult to propagate [and] to target."

The latest MessageLabs Intelligence Report from Symantec Hosted Services is filled with interesting and useful information regarding the current state of malware and e-mail borne threats as well as the trends over time. Of particular interest to me is the assertion in the report that "any given Linux machine is five times more likely to be sending spam than any given Windows machine."

Historically, cctv security has been a small and relatively specialised sector. Analogue technology has provided few opportunities to increase functionality beyond basic capture of images and sound, to be studied in real-time and stored on video tape or DVD.

Mozilla released Firefox 3.6.2 late Monday to fix a critical security hole involving Web-based font technology. "We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release.

Mozilla confirmed the presence of an unpatched flaw in its browser on Thursday, with a post promising to release a fix at the end of the month. The flaw, discovered by security researcher Evgeny Legerov and reported by The Reg last month, creates a means to inject hostile code on vulnerable systems. The vulnerability is due to be fixed in version 3.6 of Firefox on 30 March.
