Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges

Software Companies Realizing The
Benefits Of User Exchanges 06/10/2004 09:49 AM
Proprietary software companies are still experimenting with "open source-like" offerings to try to improve their own products. A few months back we wrote about the softwar e cooperative idea - which was basically open source software for companies that only members could share. Since it cost $30,000 to become a member it was more like open source with a $30,000 entrance fee. Meanwhile, many proprietary software companies have been doing quite well setting up "user exchanges" where their end users can trade modifications and add-ons to their software for free. The companies that do this have found it beneficial in many ways - since they get a core group of loyal users who are generating improvements on their software. However, many companies are apparently shying away from such exchanges, worried that (a) they'll detract from commercial add-on development or (b) it opens them up to legal liability if such a third party add-on causes problems. The companies that rely heavily on these exchanges (including IBM, Adobe and Macromedia) insist they've had no problems - and that the benefits have been well worth it. This is yet another case where some companies realize the value of something that's "free" when it's viewed as an input resource, rather than an end-product.

Businesses Want Software Companies To
Take Responsibility For Security Holes

Businesses Want Software Companies To
Take Responsibility For Security Holes 05/19/2004 12:03 PM
The debate has gone on forever about just how liable software companies should be for security holes that are later found in their software products. Both sides make compelling points. Those who are constantly patching and dealing with the security holes say that the software makers should be held responsible for their poor product design. Software developers point out that designing without any bugs or security holes is simply impossible - and making the company liable for any problems would destroy most software companies (especially small, independent developers). Either way, companies are sick of taking the blame for not patching security holes and are saying that software developers, even if they don't accept liability for vulnerabilities, at least need to accept some responsibility for making the situation better. The Business Roundtable, a trade group of CEOs, is calling on software companies to do a better job building in security, while also making it easier to update and secure systems when new vulnerabilities are found. They're also calling on the companies to continue to support older versions of their software after newer versions are on the market. They admit that companies do need to be vigilant about protecting their IT - but they want more help from the software developers. It seems like this is an obvious opportunity for managed security vendors to step up and offer solutions in the middle. The security problems are not going to go away - if anything, they're going to get worse. What needs to be done, however, is to look for a better solution to forcing an in-house IT staff to be ever-vigilant about patching every single application every time a new vulnerability is found.
