Ciberdefensa Abierta: El Ciclo de la Inteligencia de Amenazas con Software Libre

Abstract

This article establishes the fundamental guidelines for adopting projects developed within free and open‑source software communities in corporate environments, with an emphasis on their application in cybersecurity systems. Its aim is to highlight the potential of these solutions to build secure, legitimate, and scalable ecosystems capable of integrating multiple layers of protection and threat intelligence. It examines the strategic impact of free software on modern cyber defense, addressing the technical and legal implications associated with the various available licenses. The article also clarifies the differences between free software and proprietary software, emphasizing that access to source code does not necessarily imply zero cost or the absence of restrictions. Additionally, it categorizes the main types of projects found in open‑source communities, assessing their ability to integrate with enterprise security standards and regulatory frameworks. This approach seeks to encourage the informed adoption of open solutions, promoting sustainable and auditable practices in digital risk management.
