The primary aim of open-source software was not to create competitive companies but rather to provide flexible technological alternatives characterized by transparency, modifiability, and community collaboration, posing a challenge to traditional offerings. Understanding the potential challenges of using open-source software in product development is crucial for practitioners, enabling them to anticipate and address these challenges effectively.
When information flows through systems, numerous issues may arise, including security and technical concerns. These can be proactively addressed if companies employ a suitable framework that provides guidance on adoption risks and security requirements. Such a framework would minimize the impact and likelihood of potential risks, protecting corporate systems from successful security breaches.Therefore, this research proposes a conceptual framework to facilitate businesses' adoption of open-source software. It includes analyzing open-source risks, considering alternative options, gaining a deeper understanding of the evolution and security of open-source software over time, and offering comprehensive insights into modern trends, innovations, and challenges.
