They can’t finish a single solution

Gee, it’s almost as if that’s the whole point of an ever-evolving SaaS platform.

A SaaS solution that claims to be private but won’t provide the backend code to prove it. You don’t find it at all suspicious that they claim releasing backend code would make it less secure? What kind of security product is not open for inspection? The same kind of “security” you get from Microsoft.

No, because Proton has 3rd party audits all the time and they share the results openly.

Microsoft has third party audits all the time and say they’re secure, and then you learn of new backdoors every 6 months. Audit companies are unreliable and paid to give good feedback while doing the least work possible.

I imagine it probably is inspected, just not by the public. They probably do it themselves.

And they may have contracts with certain companies specializing in this sort of security that also inspect it.

And there’s also the cybersecurity companies that test it whether they’re contracted or not. At some companies, their entire job revolves around finding bugs (especially security bugs) in other companies’ software.

Just because it’s not on GitHub doesn’t mean it’s not a good product that hasn’t been thoroughly tested.

Surely we’re not gullible enough to accept “we inspected ourselves and determined we are secure and you should use our services”?

You realize that Microsoft code is inspected as well, even more heavily and regulated… and yet they still end up with major breaches. Security evolves through open source collaboration and inspection by experts that aren’t being paid to say you’re doing a good job.

Yeah because enterprises primarily use a ton of open source security tools…

Enterprises are using a plethora of open source tools at this point. They may still utilize closed source solutions, but they definitely have quite a bit of open source solutions tied in.

Releasing unfinished products and expect users to just make do while they launch the next product can’t be the solution either.

Then it’s a good thing all of their products are fully functional and working as advertised, I guess.
