Many companies rely on well-known software providers for IT security – assuming that big names automatically mean strong protection. But this is a dangerous misconception: Security does not come from brand recognition – it comes from transparency and control.
With proprietary software, many questions remain unanswered: What happens behind the scenes? Who has access? How quickly are vulnerabilities actually fixed?
Open source takes a different approach. The code is publicly accessible, reviewed worldwide, discussed – and ideally improved quickly. Vulnerabilities are not hidden, but transparently addressed. Thousands of eyes see more – and respond faster.
And we go one step further: Together with the community, we actively analyze code, identify potential weaknesses early, and continuously drive improvements. This creates a living security culture where trust is replaced by verification.
But security does not end with code. What matters is how and where the software is run.
At |knowhere, we follow a comprehensive security strategy:
- Own data centers, distributed globally
- Zero trust principle at all levels
- System hardening and segmentation
- Strict access and role-based controls
- Automated security processes with regular review and optimization
Our clients benefit from a security concept that combines transparency with full operational control – free from dependencies and tailored to today’s digital challenges.
Open source + secure infrastructure = true digital sovereignty.
And that does not come from marketing – but from conviction.
