1 min read
Summary
Startups within the cybersecurity industry are increasingly utilizing open-source AI for agile development, with open-source models such as Cisco’s Foundation-Sec-8B showing high levels of uptake.
Open-source code can help to accelerate time to market, with startups able to build communities and monetize products more quickly.
However, the uptake of open-source AI within the sector does create difficulties around issues of security and compliance, with increased vulnerabilities and regulatory hurdles.
For successful startups, the solution has been to embed governance, automate security, and proactively communicate Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Generative AI helps to automate security processes, while purpose-built cybersecurity models that are contributed to the open-source community can enhance resilience.
