As experts in high-trust solutions, we are often asked about the benefits of commercial off-the-shelf products versus seemingly more affordable Software Development Kits (SDKs), Open Source libraries or third-party pre-compiled libraries or binaries.
Often organisations forget that Open Source is not always free. While there isn’t a licence to pay for, the cost, internal resource and time needed to build, configure, maintain and integrate can quickly mount up. There’s also a customer support cost too.
The same is true with third party Software Development Kits (SDKs), pre-compiled libraries and binaries – the initial lower cost can sound enticing but significant development takes internal software developers away from other projects.
Commercial software vendors like Ascertia invest significant time and resources into their development and Quality Assurance teams. Security by design is at the heart of everything we do.
