New Mozilla fund will pay for security audits of open-source code

A new Mozilla fund, called Secure Open Source, aims to provide security audits of open-source code. The initial fund will cover audits of some widely-used open source libraries and programs. Mozilla is hoping that the companies and governments that use open source will join it and provide additional funding for the project. The fund “fills a critical gap in cybersecurity by creating incentives to find the bugs in open source,” said James A. Lewis, senior vice president and director of the Strategic Technologies Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in a statement.”]
