Course overview
One of the most frustrating things about closed-source software tools is that, when a new version arrives, it’s different. And that difference usually ends up including the removal of something that needed to be used. So frustrating! So, your IT or developers teams end up spending hours changing work they’ve already done or searching for a way to get around it. And in business, wasting time like this can mean losing money.
Open-source tools offer a solution, though. They let them view, copy, and interact with the code, so they’ll always be certain that the tool they’re using is available. But they can pose some cybersecurity risks if they’re not used correctly. So, your employees need to know how to use open-source data securely.
