Ubuntu Blog: A CISO’s preview of open source and cybersecurity trends in 2026 and beyond
Open source has come a long way. Recently I was watching a keynote address by our founder, Mark Shuttleworth, in which he discussed his vision for Ubuntu to provide quality support and security maintenance across the broad open source ecosystem, and it made me reflect on how far the open source software (OSS) community has come.

There’s a simpler tool, always sitting inside the shel...
