| | June 20178CIOReviewIN MY OPINION10 with A10: 10 Open-Source Trends for 2017By Chase Cunningham, Director of cyber operations, A10 Networks [NYSE: ATEN]Open source has become an integral piece of every developer's arsenal. The power of the community, the wisdom of many, and the ability to hook into various systems and solutions make open-source incredibly powerful.At A10, we contribute to and embrace open-source solutions and provide APIs to empower developers to integrate their tools into our systems.We keep our finger on the pulse of what's happening in the open-source community. As 2017 gathers steam, we decided to identify 10 trends that will impact open-source this year.Without further ado, here are 10 open-source trends to look for in 2017:1. The ADC Space Embraces Open-Source. At A10, we've been ambassadors of open-source solutions. And in 2017, that will increase. ADC vendors will provide better and tighter integration packages for various open-source projects, especially surrounding ADC-generated telemetry.2. More Eyes Find Vulnerabilities in Open-Source Projects. Bad guys love them and companies hate them. Many companies leverage open-source technologies to help build enterprise-class and cloud-ready solutions. However, with open-source vulnerabilities making headline impacting news, open-source projects are not as trust worthy as they have historically been perceived. Technology vendors, as they push to gain mind share as security companies, will start to identify vulnerabilities in open-source code more often. This will hopefully lead to patches being produced sooner.3. Data becomes More Actionable as Business Intelligence Rises. Collecting mountains of data is great. But it's what you do with that data and what you learn from it that matters. We've been so caught up in collecting the data that we're not using the data we collect.
